Chandigarh, April 13

Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh today ruled out any role of Prashant Kishor in the finalisation of Congress ticket in the 2022 Assembly elections. There are set norms for ticket allocation in the party that are followed in all elections in all states and Punjab was no exception, he said.

A state election committee is set up by the party high command ahead of Assembly poll in every state and that committee considers all names and decides on the final candidates, he said. The shortlisted names were then sent for scrutiny to the screening committee. The final decision is taken by the central election committee of the party, he added.—TNS

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).
