BSP supremo Mayawati has sought a report from Haryana leaders on preparations regarding the upcoming byelection in Baroda in Sonepat district.

Mayawati wants to assess the ground realities in Baroda to take a call on contesting the byelection. BSP in charge of Haryana CP Singh confirmed the development.

The BSP sees an opportunity in the expected tussle between the BJP-JJP, Congress and INLD in Baroda, preponderated by Jat voters. “If they put up a Jat candidates, the BSP will field a non-Jat nominee,” said a senior BSP leader.

Baroda was once reserved for SC candidate. It has about 50,000 SC voters. The byelection was necessitated on account of the death of Congress MLA Sri Krishan Hooda. — TNS

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.
