A day after quitting the BJP, former minister and two-time MLA from Karnal, Jaiprakash Gupta, today joined the Congress. Along with him, BJP Kisan Morcha state president and former MLA from Badhra, Sukhwinder Mandhi, also left the saffron party and joined the Congress.

Former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Congress state chief Udai Bhan welcomed them in the party and assured them of full respect.

On this occasion, Hooda said every section was unhappy in the 10-year rule of BJP. “This government has lathicharged farmers, soldiers, youths, wrestlers, employees and sarpanchs for demanding their rights. The BJP government has snatched away reservation for Dalits and Backward Classes, ration for the poor and protection from the business class. Every class is completely fed up with the BJP,” he added.

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).
