Just a day before the Maharashtra assembly elections, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and national general secretary Vinod Tawde has been accused of distributing money. Vinod Tawde has been accused of distributing five crore rupees to voters. The political temperature has risen over this matter and now Rahul Gandhi has attacked the BJP. The Congress leader took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, from whose 'safe' did these five crore rupees come out?

Rahul Gandhi posted a video related to Tawde on 'X' and said, "Modi ji, from whose 'safe' did this 5 crore come out? Who looted the public's money and sent you in the tempo?" He made this jibe while pointing to Prime Minister Modi's recent statement 'Ek Hain Toh Safe Hain'.

Tawde was found with Rs 5 crore in cash.

At the same time, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinet, referring to the video going viral on social media, said, the Election Commission cannot remain a silent spectator on this serious issue that has come to light a day before the voting. She said, BJP's National General Secretary Vinod Tawde had reached a hotel to openly distribute money. Five crore rupees in cash has been recovered from him. Along with this, a diary has been found with him, which has an account of Rs 15 crore.

Why is money being distributed before the elections?

Supriya asked, why is this money being distributed just a few hours before the elections? The rule says that after the election campaign ends, no one can stay in another election area, so what was Vinod Tawde doing in The irar area? Referring to another case, she claimed that the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had had hidden the truth about the expenditure related to various projects in Maharashtra from the people of the state.

Know what is Maharashtra cash scandal?

Let us tell you that on the eve of Maharashtra assembly elections, Bahujan Vikas Aghadi leader Hitendra Thakur on Tuesday alleged that senior BJP leader Vinod Tawde had distributed money to voters in a constituency in Palghar district. However, the BJP rejected the allegations and said that Thakur's claim iwasjust a publicity stunt. The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is making these allegations sensing defeat.
