In a big jolt to the Congress, a senior party leader from Hisar, Ram Niwas Rada, has switched over to the BJP.

Rada, along with some other Congress leaders from Hisar, joined the BJP in the presence of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in Chandigarh.

Rada was the Congress candidate for the Hisar Vidhan Sabha seat in the recent Assembly elections, but lost. He had sought the Congress ticket for the post of Hisar Mayor. On being denied the Congress ticket, he joined the BJP.

Former municipal chairman Bihari Lal Rada, Youth Congress district president Rohit and several other Congress leaders from Hisar also joined the BJP along with Rada.

They were inducted into the party by the Chief Minister.

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).
