Patna, June 2

Ahead of the announcement of Lok Sabha poll results on June 4, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday left for the National Capital, where he is likely to stay for the next couple of days.

Some senior JD (U) leaders, on condition of anonymity, said the party supremo may meet top BJP leaders during his visit to New Delhi.

On the other hand, a delegation of the Finance Commission is likely to visit Patna on June 10 during which the Bihar Government’s demand for special status and special package for the state may be discussed, sources said.

Besides, the demand for an increased share of Central funds for Bihar may also be discussed, they said.

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).
