Congress names candidate for last remaining M.P. seat; civil servant fails to get govt nod to enter fray

The Congress on October 23 night declared its candidate for the last remaining assembly constituency in Madhya Pradesh, Amla in Betul district. But, with a bureaucrat tipped to be the party nominee not getting the government’s nod in time to quit service, the ticket has gone to someone else for the next month's polls.

The opposition party fielded its member Manoj Malve from Amla and with this, it has completed the process of putting up nominees on all the 230 assembly seats for the November 17 elections.

The Congress, in two separate lists, had declared 229 candidates with only the Amla seat left out.
