Maharashtra BJP leader Tawde accused of cash bribery

Deccan Chronicle  

Mumbai: The Election Commission of India on Tuesday began investigations into ‘cash for vote’ allegations leveled by the Bahujan Vikas Aghadi against BJP general secretary Vinod Tawde. The BVA accused Tawde of distributing Rs 5 crore to woo voters, a day before the Maharashtra Assembly elections, a claim the BJP leader denied, saying he was merely guiding party workers on poll procedures. A viral video of the incident shows BVA workers, who gheraoed Tawde at the hotel for nearly four hours, storming into the Vivanta Hotel in Palghar during a meeting between Tawde and Rajan Naik, the BJP candidate from the Nalasopara Assembly seat. Other BJP leaders, including party’s state president Chandrashekar Bawankule, defended Tawde and alleged that the BVA is making false accusations as the party has realised that its candidate is losing the election.
