BJP MP Sambit Patra dismissed allegations against BJP General Secretary Vinod Tawde of distributing money to buy votes at a hotel in Virar, calling them baseless. "There are no facts," Patra said, referring to Tawde's challenge to Rahul Gandhi to examine CCTV footage for evidence. He urged Supriya Sule, Gandhi, and Nana Patole to call for a fair investigation.
