In Assam, the party has named Leader of Opposition in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly Sunil Sharma and former minister Darshana Jardosh as co-in-charges.

The BJP will aim to defend its government in Assam and expand its electoral footprint in Tamil Nadu, which has traditionally oscillated between the two Dravidian parties, DMK and AIADMK.

The orders for the appointments were issued by BJP general secretary Arun Singh.

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).
