Cong nominee for M.P. Assembly seat

BHOPAL, MAY 5. The Congress (I) has nominated Mrs. Pushpalata Kavre, wife of former State Transport Minister, Likhiram Kavre, for the May 26 by- elections to the Kirnapur Assembly seat in Madhya Pradesh. Kavre, who represented the constituency, was murdered by naxalites in Kirnapur in December.

Party sources said the name of Mrs. Pushpalata Kavre was finalised after serious deliberations.

Although a formal announcement of the BJP nominee for the seat was yet to be made, Mr. Bhuwan Parthy's nomination looked almost certain.

The last date for filing of nomination papers is May 9. The forms would be scrutinised the next day and the last date for withdrawal of nominations is May 12.
