Former minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Monday said the kind of “machinations” being attempted in Bihar in the name of special intensive revision of electoral rolls would not be possible in Tamil Nadu or Kerala.

“These kinds of machinations they attempted in Bihar cannot take place in Tamil Nadu and Kerala because of the two alliances in the states and their boots on the ground,” Chidambaram said, referring to the entrenched presence of the principal rivals in both states — the Dravidian parties DMK and AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, and the LDF and UDF in Kerala.

He added that these were strong, deeply rooted alliances that would not allow any wrongdoing.

“No name can be added without the knowledge of cadres of principal parties in Tamil Nadu and Kerala and no name can be removed,” he said amid the ongoing controversy over SIR in poll-bound Bihar.

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).
