Kalavati files papers from Wani seat

Ending uncertainty over her contesting polls, Kalavati Bandurkar, whom Congress leader Rahul Gandhi mentioned in Parliament to highlight the plight of debt-ridden farmers in Vidarbha, today filed nomination papers from Wani assembly constituency as an independent.

Kalavati, who was hospitalised late last night after she complained of chest pain, was accompanied by a physician and Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti (VJS) President Kishori Tiwari, when she drove in an ambulance to the Assistant Returning officer in Wani to file the papers, Tiwari said.
