New Delhi, February 25

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday asked the people of Amethi to vote for jobs and prosperity, not for caste and religion.

Addressing a gathering at Jagdishpur in Amethi parliamentary constituency, Rahul said, “The ticket to get a job is in your own hands. When you go to the polling booth to vote, that vote is a ticket to employment. But sadly you sometimes vote on the basis of religion and sometimes on the basis of caste. You never vote for your own bright future, you just don’t.”

The Gandhi siblings — Rahul and Priyanka Vadra — asked the voters if they had got any employment, as promised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2014 General Election campaign.

“The promise made was for two crore jobs. Have any of you got any job?” Rahul asked the voters, with many replying in the negative. —

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).
