New Delhi, June 19

The Congress has named former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar as one of the three candidates for the June 30 byelections to three legislative council seats in the state.

Besides Shettar, Tippannappa Kamaknoor and NS Boseraju have been named as the two other candidates by the Congress. Boseraju, who is considered close to the Gandhi family, is already a minister in the Siddaramaiah-led Cabinet in Karnataka.

The BJP, which is in the Opposition in the southern state, is yet to announce the candidates for the byelections.

The seats in the legislative council fell vacant following the resignation by BJP members Laxman Savadi, Baburao Chinchansur and R Shankar before the May 10 Assembly elections in Karnataka.

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).
