Chandigarh, March 11

A day after the Congress suffered a drubbing at the hands of the AAP, former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today said the party was trying to blame it on anti-incumbency of his four-and-half-year tenure instead of its own poor performance.

Capt tweeted: “The INCIndia leadership will never learn! Who is responsible for the humiliating defeat of the Congress in UP? What about Manipur, Goa, Uttarakhand? The answer is written in bold letters on the wall but as always I presume they will avoid reading it.” The ex-CM’s remarks came a day after Congress’ Randeep Surjewala said in Punjab, even though the party presented a humble leadership, it failed to overcome the anti-incumbency of the Captain government. —

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).
