Taking note of media reports that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had been appointed permanent president of the YSRCP, the Election Commission (EC) today asked the party to make a “clear and categorical public announcement” contradicting such reports.

The YSRCP had in July informed the poll panel about the “unanimous” election of Jagan as party president, neither admitting nor denying the charge that he had been made president for life. “Any action which denies the periodicity of elections is in violation of the extant instructions of the Commission,” the EC said.

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).
