Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of serving the interests of billionaires at the expense of India’s poor. Addressing an election rally in Jharkhand’s Godda district, the senior Congress leader claimed that while the Opposition INDIA bloc was fighting to protect the Constitution, the BJP was trying to “dump it in the trash bin”.

Asserting that he was not afraid of Modi or “his 56-inch chest”, the Lok Sabha LoP said: “He is a puppet of billionaires, who gives lessons of austerity to people during the day and enjoys opulent weddings of industrialists at the night. He has done nothing for the poor.”

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).
