AICC spokesperson Alok Sharma targeted the BJP over inflation and unemployment here today.

Addressing a press conference here, he said that during the BJP regime in the state and at the Centre, the inflation had risen affecting the common man. The double-engine government of the BJP had failed to control inflation and provide employment to the youth.

“The BJP came to power by promising to create jobs. But the government has done nothing,” he added.

“The Congress is against Agnipath scheme introduced by the Central government. We have been demanding appointment to those, who have passed the competitive exam of army before the introduction of the scheme,” he said.

In reply to a query, he said that both Congress MLAs who recently joined the BJP had been associated with the ideology of BJP before joining the Congress.

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).
