The Congress has fielded Bathinda Rural MLA Rupinder Kaur Ruby, who recently switched from AAP. She is a resident of Bathinda and her vote is registered there. Dr Baljit Kaur, AAP candidate is a voter in Faridkot town. She was an eye surgeon at the Civil Hospital, Muktsar, till last year. The BJP, Sanyukt Samaj Morcha and other outfits are yet to announce their candidates.

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).
