Vinod Tawde Caught in New Controversy: Allegations of Voter Bribery Emerge

Vinod Tawde, a senior BJP leader and former Maharashtra minister, faces fresh controversy with allegations of voter bribery just before assembly elections. Despite his controversial past, including a disputed degree, Tawde has managed comebacks in BJP ranks, but new accusations might affect his political standing.

Vinod Tawde, a senior figure in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and former minister in Maharashtra, has become embroiled in a fresh controversy with recent allegations of distributing money to voters ahead of the assembly elections.

Tawde, who ascended from grassroots BJP ranks to senior ministerial roles, has encountered numerous controversies that threaten the party's image. His tenure as Minister for School and Education was marked by a degree scandal involving an unrecognized university, which opposition leaders claimed was fraudulent.

Despite defending his qualifications and acknowledging the course's lack of government approval, his political career has been further challenged by a publication controversy and exclusion from the 2019 elections. Now, new allegations and viral videos of voter bribery hang over him, raising questions about his future within the BJP.
