The Congress today said the Cabinet reshuffle was not an exercise driven by performance but one meant to “distribute the spoils of power and adjust defectors.” The Congress’ principal targets were its former leaders Narayan Rane and Jyotiraditya Scindia.

Party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said if the Cabinet expansion was done on the basis of performance, then the PM should have been the first to go for “governance failure”. The Finance Minister, Home Minister and Defence Minister too should have been dropped, he said.

Jairam Ramesh said Harsh Vardhan had been made a scapegoat “for failures at the highest level. — 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).
