New Delhi, March 13

Signalling the prominence of nephew over uncle in Bihar politics, the BJP on Wednesday sealed the Lok Sabha seat-sharing deal with the Chirag Paswan-led faction of the Lok Janashakti Party leaving the Pashupatinath Pasar faction aside for the time being.

Chirag posted a happy picture after meeting BJP chief JP Nadda in the capital.

Sources said the BJP could contest 17, JDU 16 and Chirag’s LJP Ramvilas could get as many as five seats in the state leaving the rest for smaller NDA allies Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha. A formal declaration of seat sharing details is yet to come.

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).
