State BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia on Saturday accused the AAP government of failing to present even a basic account of works done in Punjab’s villages during its tenure.

Kalia said since the announcement of the zila parishad and panchayat samiti elections, AAP ministers and leaders have held more than 10 press conferences, but none focused on rural development. Instead, he alleged, they resorted to baseless attacks to divert attention from core rural issues.

He said problems such as water scarcity, poor road conditions, inadequate health services and incomplete development projects continued to plague villages across the state.

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).
