Just recently, the PM had met Sukhbir in the Parliament House complex, raising speculation as to the future of the estranged NDA allies.

The two sides have been visibly warming up to one another ahead of the 2027 Punjab elections even though the BJP has so far officially maintained that it would contest all 117 seats in the state on its own.

Privately, BJP leaders have been indicating a thaw in the previously cold ties between the BJP and SAD saying one would have to wait and watch to see what shape this thaw takes and if a pre-poll alliance happens.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
