New Delhi, November 13

West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress on Saturday announced nominating former Goa chief minister Luizinho Faleiro for the vacancy created in the Upper House following the premature exit of TMC member Arpita Ghosh.

ECI has announced holding bypolls on November 29 to fill up the vacant seats in the Rajya Sabha from West Bengal, Kerala and Maharashtra.

Arpita Ghosh, who was elected to the Rajya Sabha in September 2020, resigned on September 15 this year.

Faleiro, veteran Congress leader, joined the TMC on September 29.

Sushmita Dev, who quit the post of Mahila Congress president to join the TMC, was earlier sent to Rajya Sabha by the TMC after party member Manas Bhuian quit the Rajya Sabha to become a member of the Mamata Banerjee-led cabinet.

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).
