BVA said that Tawde reached a hotel in Virar area on Tuesday with Rs 5 crore. BJP candidate from Nalasopara seat Rajan Naik and other activists were also with him. He met here.
When the BVA got information about this, Kshitij Thakur, party candidate from Nalasopara, reached the hotel along with his workers. The BVA accused Tawde of distributing rupees to voters.
In the videos that have surfaced from the hotel, notes are seen in the hands of BVA workers. A young man is holding a diary. It is alleged that the same diary contains an account of Rs.

I am here to say 12 things about Election Day Code of Conduct. The parties in front of us thought that I have come there to distribute rupees. The Election Commission and the police should investigate these allegations. I have been in the party for 40 years. Everyone knows me. I also want the Election Commission to conduct an impartial investigation.
Who said what on the allegations against Tawde…
Nana Patole said- The corruption of the government has finally been exposed Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole said- The video of BJP Central General Secretary Vinod Tawde caught red-handed while distributing rupees in a hotel in Virar is going viral on social media. The Election Commission should take strict action against Vinod Tawde for violating the code of conduct.
We demand that Vinod Tawde be arrested to maintain people's faith in democracy and conduct transparent elections.
Sanjay Raut said – Some BJP people will be happy with the Tawade scandal Shiv Sena Uddhav faction MP Sanjay Raut said- Vinod Tawde is the party's national general secretary. It is alleged that Rs 5 crore has been seized from the hotel. People of Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA) barged in there and seized the rupees.
Raut said- Home department kept an eye on Tawde. Some BJP people will be happy today. This is not a conspiracy. I have names of 18 people who are distributing Rs. But Vinod Tawde himself is distributing the rupees, this is surprising.
He said – we are being investigated. The bag is being checked. The helicopter is being investigated. If the Election Commission had kept an eye on BJP, Shinde and Ajit Pawar, 1000 crore rupees would have been saved for the people of Maharashtra.
Uddhav said that before the implementation of the code of conduct, 15 to 20 crore rupees had been raised in each assembly constituency in the elections. Everything is in front of the camera, and BJP people are saying what they will reveal, what they will reveal. The work of distribution of rupees is going on at various places.
Amit Malviya said – If there is evidence, with the Election Commission go BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya said in this matter – if the opposition has any such evidence, they should go to the Election Commission. This is a conspiracy. Leaders take care of the management of their booths 24 hours before the polls. Defeated leaders do such drama, which is currently happening in Nalasopara. Our organization meeting was going on in that hotel.
