Maharashtra cash-for-vote controversy: Vinod Tawde sends defamation notice to Rahul Gandhi, Kharge
BJP National General Secretary Vinod Tawde has filed a defamation case against senior Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge for their allegation against him of distributing money to voters.
In an X post, Tawde said: "I have filed a defamation case against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and their party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate for their baseless allegations in the Nallasopara case."
Congress’s only agenda – to spread lies!

"Despite their attempts to tarnish my image and that of the BJP, the truth is clear – the alleged ₹5 crore was never recovered in the investigation by the Election Commission and the police," he said.
He further said: "This case exposes the Congress's low-level politics and their desperate attempts to mislead the nation. The BJP stands tall, backed by truth and the people's trust!"
The cash-for-votes row emerged in recent times ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly polls.
Bahujan Vikas Aghadi leader Hitendra Thakur recently alleged that Tawde distributed money to voters in a constituency located in Palghar district.
Tawde had rejected the charges against him.
