Two days after replacing the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, the BJP on Friday appointed Haridwar MLA Madan Kaushik as the state president of the party in place of Bansi Dhar Bhagat.

On Tuesday, Trivendra Singh Rawat resigned as Chief Minister following a directive from the BJP central leadership. A day later he was replaced by Garhwal MP Tirath Singh Rawat.

With the change of party state chief, the BJP has new faces for the government, and the organisation ahead of 2022 assembly polls.

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).
