New Delhi, June 24

BJP president and Union Health Minister J P Nadda was on Monday named Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha and may perhaps become the first leader in the party to hold three major posts simultaneously.

The Tribune had reported on June 14 that Nadda was the front runner for the post.

Nadda’s term as BJP president is about to end shortly and he may continue till the time a new party president is elected.

Nadda’s rise in BJP ranks continues unabated with the Himachal Pradesh strongman silently eking his way through a complex power structure.

Nadda replaces Union Minister Piyush Goyal as Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha. Goyal has been elected to the Lok Sabha.

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).
