New Delhi, October 26

Hours before the first phase of Bihar poll, LJP president Chirag Paswan attacked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over corruption, claiming that “jail is the right place” for him.

“It is unbelievable that Kumar wasn’t involved in any scam,” Paswan said, an observation that earned criticism from several BJP leaders.

Just because he is the Chief Minister he won’t go to jail? Corruption is taking place right under his nose. We will get the Saat Nishchay scheme probed. —Chirag Paswan, LJP President

In retaliation, the Chief Minister said some people were “acting at the behest of their advisers” and attacking him, referring to Prashant Kishor.

“We are concerned about nepotism,” an apparent reference to the LJP chief and JD-U’s Tejashwi Yadav.

“Those who do not have any knowledge or experience are speaking against me,” Nitish Kumar said. — 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).
