The party said the BJP was purposely not releasing the pending funds of Rs 7,000 crore of the RDF.

Ropar AAP MLA Dinesh Chadha said link roads in rural areas were not being repaired. Chadha said the money of the RDF was used to repair roads and develop mandis. The Central Government was withholding Rs 7,000 crore of the Rural Development Fund and they were doing it under a conspiracy.

Earlier, the BJP tried to implement three laws to end the mandi system. The farm laws were opposed all over India but farmers of Punjab led that protest and forced PM Narendra Modi to repeal these.

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).
