New Delhi, February 24

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday urged the people of Uttar Pradesh to stop voting on the basis of caste and religion saying the voters had spoilt the BJP, BSP and the SP by casting ballot along these lines.

Addressing a rally in Barabanki today, Vadra said, “During the agitation against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens, BSP and SP were hiding in their homes. These parties only approach you during elections and seek votes in the name of religion and caste.”

Priyanka asked the youngsters in the crowd if any of them had managed to land a government job in five years. “Kisi ko toh mili hogi (naukri),” she said with a section of the crowd responding “nahi (no)”. —

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).
