Bharatiya Janata Party leader Vinod Tawde on Friday sent a legal notice to Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and Supriya Shrinate, demanding that they apologise for allegedly making “baseless allegations” against him.
The Congress leaders had accused him of distributing cash to voters in the city of Nalasopara near Mumbai to influence them ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections held on November 20.
The legal notice demanded that Congress leaders should publish an unconditional apology in at least three English and three regional newspapers as well as on social media platform X. It stated that if they failed to comply, Tawde would file a criminal case and initiate civil proceedings worth Rs 100 crore.
