Jammu, April 3

J&K BJP president Ravinder Raina has said AAP poses no threat to the BJP on the political map of the Union Territory. Addressing mediapersons in Jammu, he said, “We have a strong base and are poised to form the next government with our own chief minister.” The event saw new members joining the BJP.

Asked about the rising number of AAP members, Raina said, “The BJP is the world’s largest political party, having 18 lakh members in Jammu and Kashmir. We have two MPs and public representatives in the form of DDCs, BDCs, municipal councillors and sarpanches. The BJP is present in every household of J&K.”

Raina claimed people were happy with the functioning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that the party would achieve its target of 50-plus Assembly seats with no need to seek support from any other party. —

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).
