Kalkaji won the 2015 election by a significant margin of 19,769 votes against BJP’s Harmeet Singh Kalka. However, he expressed frustration over the state of the constituency under his successor, Atishi, who now represents Kalkaji. He told The Tribune, “No work has been done in the constituency for the past five years. Atishi ji never visited the area, and the party cadres were also unable to meet her, which caused a standstill in development.”

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).
