New Delhi, March 29

The Congress on Friday released its ninth list of five candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

The party has fielded CP Joshi from Rajasthan’s Bhilwara, replacing earlier announced candidate Damodar Gurjar, who will now be contesting from Rajsamand.

Sudarshan Rawat was earlier named the candidate from Rajsamand. But Rawat, for reason not yet clear, refused to contest.

The Congress named Thukaram from the Bellary (ST) constituency of Karnataka and Sunil Bose and Raksha Ramaiah from the Chamarajanagar (SC) and Chikkballapur constituencies of Karnataka, respectively.

With the latest list, the number candidates announced by the party so far rose to 213.

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).
