New Delhi, January 30

The seat-sharing talks in the opposition INDIA bloc still underway, the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Tuesday released its first list of 16 candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Of them, three are from SP chief Akhilesh Yadav’s family — wife Dimple Yadav from Mainpuri and cousins Akshay Yadav (Firozabad) and Dharmendra Yadav (Badaun).

MP Shafiqur Rahman Barq from Sambhal has been re-nominated. Former Congress leader Anu Tandon, who joined the SP, has been fielded from Unnao. The SP has offered the Congress 11 seats, but the latter has maintained that the formula is yet to be finalised.

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).
