New Delhi, October 15

The Congress on Thursday released a second list of 49 candidates for the upcoming Bihar elections, and fielded actor politician Shatrughan Sinha’s son Lov Sinha from Bankipur assembly seat and former NDA convener Sharad Yadav’s daughter Subhashini from Bihariganj.

The list also features former LJP leader Kali Pandey who joined the Congress yesterday.

Pandey has been fielded from Kuchaikote. Praveen Kushwaha has been named a candidate from Patna Saheb, a seat Lov Sinha was eyeing.

Subhashini Yadav had also joined the Congress yesterday and said she wanted to carry forward her father’s political legacy.

Bihariganj is in Madhepura Lok Sabha segment which Sharad Yadav represented in Lok Sabha for many years.

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).
