New Delhi, June 4

Indore has won the dubious distinction of recording the highest number of NOTA votes beating the usual high NOTA voting tribal constituencies in Andhra Pradesh, MP, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and UP.

The Indore seat recorded a total of 2.18 lakh NOTA votes due to political circumstances rather than disaffection with the polity as has been the case in the tribal districts of five states. Here, Congress nominee Akshay Kanti Bam withdrew his candidature and joined the BJP shortly after a decades old attempt to murder case was opened against him.

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).
