Chandigarh, February 11

Days after returning to the Congress fold, sitting Sri Hargobindpur MLA Balwinder Laddi rejoined the BJP on Friday evening.

Laddi had left the Congress and joined the BJP on December 28. He, however, quit the BJP within six days and returned to the Congress. He now again has rejoined the BJP as the Congress ticket has been given to a low-profile party leader and village sarpanch Mandeep Singh Rangar Nangal, who is loyal to minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa.

“The Congress doesn’t value its leaders. Therefore, I am forced to return to the BJP,” Laddi said.

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).
