New Delhi, January 5

Congress chief Sonia Gandhi today dropped Shaktisinh Gohil as in charge of Bihar affairs appointing Bhakta Charan Das in his place.

The replacement follows Congress Party’s dismal performance in recent Bihar elections where it contested 70 seats out of 243 in the assembly in alliance with the RJD and Left, and won 19.

Congress had won 27 seats in the previous state elections.

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).
