New Delhi, April 2

The Congress on Tuesday released its 11th list of 17 candidates for the Lok Sabha elections. The list includes names of candidates for Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal seats. The party has fielded YS Sharmila Reddy from Kadapa, a stronghold of the Reddy family currently represented by Sharmila’s cousin Avinash Reddy from the YSR Congress Party. Sharmila, sister of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, joined the Congress in January this year and was appointed president of the party’s Andhra Pradesh unit.

The Congress party has also named Munish Tamang as its candidate from West Bengal’s Darjeeling.

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).
