New Delhi, May 16

BSP supremo and former Uttar Pradesh CM Mayawati has launched a scathing attack on the ruling BJP for allegedly seeking votes in the name of free ration to the poor.

Accusing the BJP of seeking votes in the name of free ration to the poor, she said boasting about distributing a small amount of ration to the poor in elections, was not appropriate because it was not a favour. The scheme was being funded by the taxpayers’ money, she said. “Therefore, asking for votes in exchange and making fun of the poor is disgraceful,” she said in a post on X.

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).
