Nearly three months after the declaration of Jharkhand election results, the BJP parliamentary board on Wednesday kick-started the process of selection of the Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly.

The party appointed two central observers for conducting the meeting of BJP MLAs to pick the leader of the state legislature party.

The observers are Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav and BJP national OBC cell chairman K Laxman. The BJP had lost the Jharkhand elections with Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s JMM-led INDIA bloc retaining power in the state.

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).
