The BJP has said that the alliance between Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and his uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav ahead of the UP elections was “another example of dynastic politics which people will reject”.

UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya said the alliance would not have any adverse effect on the BJP’s prospects in the elections.

“The BJP will form the government in 2022 by winning more than 300 seats. Only the lotus will bloom,” he said. Meanwhile, the SP and Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) indicated that there would not be any problem over seat sharing with the leader of the smaller outfit saying he was ready for any “sacrifice”. Akhilesh indicated that seat sharing has been “almost decided”. — TNS

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).
