New Delhi, March 26

Several BJP leaders are disgruntled over the choice of candidates on eight Karnataka seats — Chikkaballapur, Koppal, Shivamogga, Haveri, Tumkuru, Bidar, Raichur and Chitradurga.

In a recent development, posters of “Go Back Sudhakar” were put up by supporters of BJP MLA SR Vishwanath after the party fielded former Karnataka health minister K Sudhakar from the Chikkaballapur constituency.

Sudhakar faced defeat in the last Assembly elections. After Chikkaballapur MP BN Bache Gowda announced his retirement from electoral politics, Sudhakar was fielded. Vishwanath wanted the ticket for his son Alok Vishwanath from the seat. Sudhakar is considered close to ex-CM Bommai.

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).
