Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva strongly criticised AAP leader Atishi Marlena for her recent claims of development in the Kirari constituency. He labelled her statements as “false and shameful”, accusing the AAP government of neglecting the area over the past decade.

Sachdeva highlighted that Kirari, one of Delhi’s largest constituencies, suffered from prolonged waterlogging for most of the year and lacked essential infrastructure such as schools, colleges and hospitals.

He also pointed out that the AAP’s repeated victories in Kirari were more about vote-bank politics

rather than actual development.

Furthermore, he questioned Atishi Marlena’s logic, asking why the AAP had removed 10-year MLA Rituraj Govind if he had brought any meaningful development to the constituency.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
