Former Haryana Minister Bachan Singh Arya has quit the BJP after the party fielded Narnaund MLA and JJP turncoat Ram Kumar Gautam from Safidon Assembly constituency in Jind district.

Arya has been a two-time MLA from Safidon. He won on the Congress ticket in 1991 and later won as an Independent in 2005. He had also contested as BJP candidate in 2019. He announced his resignation on social media apparently in protest against the denial of ticket.

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).
