Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday rolled out the guarantee of “zero power bills for use up to 200 units” made to the people of Karnataka in the run-up to the recent state elections.

“The Congress has fulfilled yet another guarantee made to the people of Karnataka.

“The launch of the Gruha Jyothi Yojana in Kalaburagi today is a historic moment for economic stability of any household,” Kharge said.

He said 1.42 crore consumers would start benefitting from the scheme and get “zero electricity bill” for usage up to 200 units. “This will help the people who are trapped under the burden of BJP imposed price rise. The Congress stands with the people of Karnataka. The Congress is committed to welfare and well-being of all,” Kharge tweeted.

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).
