Tewari had earlier been admitted in a hospital here for a few days and Congress has nominated a grandson of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh as its candidate from Ludhiana where Tewari is the sitting MP.
While opposition parties had taken potshots at Tewari saying he was running away from the contest, the minister expressed the hope that he would be there for future elections.
“I don't think this is the last Lok Sabha elections.
There will be a chance in the future,” he added while speaking to a TV channel.
