Dheeran Shah Invati Files Nomination for Amarwara Bypoll

Congress candidate Dheeran Shah Invati files his nomination for the July 10 Amarwara bypoll in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district. Invati, who is from the Gond community, is up against BJP's Kamlesh Shah. State Congress chief Jitu Patwari and local MLAs accompanied Invati. The bypoll will occur across 13 constituencies in seven states.

On Thursday, Congress candidate Dheeran Shah Invati officially entered the race for the Amarwara assembly seat by filing his nomination papers for the upcoming bypoll set for July 10 in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district.

Invati is poised to contest against BJP's Kamlesh Shah, a three-time MLA. State Congress chief Jitu Patwari and local party MLAs stood beside Invati, a member of the Gond community, as he submitted his candidacy for the Scheduled Tribes-reserved seat. So far, a total of 11 candidates have filed their papers, with Friday marking the final day for submissions.

This bypoll was triggered by the resignation of MLA Kamlesh Shah, who left Congress to join BJP just before the Lok Sabha elections. The bypoll, part of a larger electoral event, will take place in 13 assembly constituencies across seven states on July 10.
