Former Pataudi MLA and former chairman of Haryana Education Board Rambir Singh resigned from the priority membership of the Congress on Saturday. Accusing the party of nepotism, he announced his resignation in a press conference at his residence in Pataudi.

He claimed that there was no possibility of the Congress returning to power in the country, and the state in the next 10 years.

He said he would contest the municipal council elections as an Independent candidate, and being a local, he was aware of the problems of the area and could get development work done better than other candidates.

He said there was extreme factionalism in the Congress, and alleged that MP Deepender Hooda had caused the biggest loss to the party.

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).
