From dairy farmer to Vasai-Virar power centre: Hitendra Thakur, BVA chief who took on Vinod Tawde
Mumbai: Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA) workers, led by party chief Hitendra Thakur and son Kshitij, clashed with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers at a hotel in Nalasopara in Mumbai’s outskirts Tuesday after claiming that they caught BJP national general secretary Vinod Tawde ‘red-handed’ distributing cash a day ahead of polling.
BVA workers alleged that Tawde was carrying Rs 5 crore in cash for distribution to consolidate votes in the area for BJP’s Nalasopara candidate Rajan Naik. The altercation broke out when BVA workers interrupted Tawde’s meeting with BJP workers and snatched his bag of cash away. Some BJP workers only allegedly “tipped them off”.
The high-voltage drama came just a day ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections.
