Senior BJP leader from Punjab Tarun Chugh has been retained as national general secretary in the party’s revamp on Saturday, ahead of next year’s Lok Sabha elections. Narinder Singh Raina, a Sikh leader from the state, also stays as BJP national secretary.

Chugh’s reappointment as the general secretary is significant and makes him the first leader from Punjab to become a BJP office-bearer for four times in a row and national general secretary twice in a row.

He was appointed the BJP general secretary for the first time in 2021. The 38-member team of BJP national office-bearers announced by party chief JP Nadda today has only two leaders from Punjab and none from Haryana and HP. Chugh’s retention was a certainty as he had of late been gaining prominence in the BJP.

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).
