Shimla, November 1

Union Science and Technology Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said today that Himachal would play a significant role in ‘Bharat Nirman’. He added that the BJP was the only choice in the state for all-round development.

Jitendra, while addressing mediapersons here, said that schemes like the Ujjwala Yojana and Ayushman Bharat took time to gain pace in Himachal under the Congress rule. He appealed to people to vote for the BJP to be part of the development journey.

The Union Minister said that if the Congress was so serious about the old pension scheme (OPS), why the previous Virbhadra Singh government did not implement it. Moreover, the Virbhadra Singh government had abolished the OPS in 2004 but now the Congress was raising the issue to get political mileage in the elections.

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).
