Former Andhra Pradesh Governor N D Tiwari,who quit over allegation of his involvement in a sex scandal two years ago,today virtually returned to active politics by openly backing his nephew when he filed his nomination as Congress candidate for Gadarpur Assembly seat in Uttarakhand.

Tiwari accompanied his nephew Manish Tiwari,who filed his nomination papers for the seat in Udhamsingh Nagar district.

The former Uttarakhand chief minister was said to be instrumental in getting a Congress ticket for Manish despite opposition by a section of Congress leaders.
