Asking the people to think about what they are voting for, Congress leader P Chidambaram on Sunday said the Yogi Adityanath model of government has made the state poorer and added 40 per cent to the state’s debt.

He said the Congress’ slogan “Ladki Hoon Lad Sakti Hoon” has added a new dimension to the goal of gender equality in elections.

“What are you voting for?” Chidambaram sought to know from the people, and said Adityanath’s model of governance is a mix of “authoritarianism, fanning religious hatred, perpetuating caste enmity, police excesses and gender violence”.

“This model has made the state poorer and kept a majority of UP people poor,” he said, adding that the state’s total outstanding debt is over Rs 6.62 lakh crore. He said the neo-natal mortality rate in UP was 35.7 and infant mortality rate 50.4 — all above the national average. —

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).
