Anuja, the wife of Congress leader Sunil Kedar, will contest the Savner seat in the Nagpur district. Sunil was convicted and had to resign as MLA, with his appeal still pending in the Supreme Court; hence, the party has chosen to field his wife. Former minister Vasant Purke will run for his traditional Ralegaon seat.
