BJP general secretary Vinod Tawde has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Supriya Shrinate over “cash-for-vote” allegations. Tawde denied the accusations, calling them defamatory and asserting his four-decade-long clean political record. The allegations surfaced just before the Maharashtra Assembly elections, with Congress leaders claiming Tawde was caught distributing money to voters.
