AAP candidate for the Rajya Sabha bypoll Rajinder Gupta filed his nomination papers on Friday.

The vacancy in the Upper House was created due to the resignation by Sanjeev Arora, who contested and won the Ludhiana (West) poll in June this year.

Gupta was accompanied by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, AAP state chief Aman Arora, Industry Minister Sanjeev Arora and Sangrur MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer.

He becomes the fourth candidate to have filed the nomination papers for the poll scheduled to be held on October 24.

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).
