New Delhi, March 2

The BJP’s downward slide in West Bengal has continued with the party drawing a nil in the polls held in 108 civic bodies of the state on Sunday.

The results announced on Wednesday showed the ruling TMC in the state as having secured majority in 102 of the 108 municipalities. In four municipalities there was a hung situation.

While the Left Front won one seat — Taherpur municipality in Nadia district — the newly formed Humro Party floated by restaurant owner Ajay Edwards secured majority in Darjeeling municipality.

TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee congratulated the people for giving her party the huge mandate. —

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).
