The BJP on Wednesday released a list of 35 candidates for the third phase of the Bihar Assembly elections, re-nominating late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s cousin and sitting MLA Neeraj Kumar Singh ‘Bablu’ from Chhatapur constituency in Supaul district.

With public sentiments running high for the late actor who was found dead under mysterious circumstances in Mumbai, the nomination was expected.

The BJP has announced 46 candidates for the second phase and 27 for the first phase for the upcoming elections to the 243-member Bihar Assembly it is contesting in alliance with the JD-U, VIP and HAM(S).

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).
