Chandigarh, May 12

In a boost for the Congress in Ludhiana, Simarjit Singh Bains and Balwinder Bains of the Lok Insaaf Party today joined the party in the presence of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi.

Both of them are former MLAs. While Simarjit had represented the Atam Nagar segment, Balwinder was an MLA from Ludhiana South.

Sources said talks were going on for the past few weeks to make the duo join the Congress as it would boost the prospects of the Congress candidate, Amrinder Raja Warring. He is pitched against BJP’s Ravneet Bittu, SAD’s Ranjit Singh Dhillon and AAP’s Ashok Parashar Pappi.

Sources said the Bains brothers had joined the party on the condition that they would be given the Congress ticket during the next Assembly elections.

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).
