BJP leader Vinod Tawde sent a defamation notice to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and Supriya Shrinate. The notice was sent after he was accused of distributing cash for votes in Maharashtra. Tawde asked the three to apologise or they'd be sued for ₹100 crore, saying, "They've tried to malign my...[and BJP's image] by spreading lies in this matter."
