Panaji/New Delhi, January 18

The Congress on Tuesday released its third list of nine more party candidates for the February 14 Goa Assembly elections and fielded leaders who were earlier in the BJP and the Trinamool Congress.

Former BJP minister Michael Lobo, who recently quit the saffron party to join the Congress, figures on the list along with Lavu Mamlekar, who was earlier with the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC.

While Lobo will contest from Calangute, Mamlekar is the Congress candidate from Marcaim. The list also includes former Independent MLA Prasad Gaonkar, who had resigned from the House recently to join the Congress. —

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).
