Announcing the decision on Twitter after a meeting of the BJP parliamentary party in Rajasthan, state unit chief Satish Poonia said, “After a discussion with leader of opposition in the state assembly Ghulab Chand Kataria and deputy leader of opposition Rajendra Rathore, it has been decided that in the wake of the financial burden exerted on the state exchequer, all BJP MLAs will return the iPhones gifted by the Congress-ruled Rajasthan government.”

The Gehlot government in a surprise gifted Apple iPhone 13 with a digital copy of the budget to all its 200 MLAs in a kit.

The cost of the iPhone 13 ranges from Rs 75,000 to Rs 1 lakh.

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).
