Lucknow, February 1

The Samajwadi Party on Tuesday announced 10 candidates for the ongoing UP Assembly elections including for Lucknow Cantonment seat from which Aparna Yadav — the younger daughter-in-law of party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav — had unsuccessfully contested in 2017.

The SP has given ticket to Pooja Shukla from Lucknow North and Raju Gandhi from the Cantt seat.

Shukla, a first-timer, had hogged the headlines in 2017 for allegedly waving black flags at UP CM Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow University. In the 2017 UP Assembly poll, BJP’s Rita Bahuguna Joshi had defeated Aparna Yadav from Lucknow Cantt. She later became the Lok Sabha MP from Allahabad, and was replaced in the bypolls by BJP’s Suresh Chandra Tiwari. —

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).
