All stakeholders—the Thakurs, members of the Opposition, even some members of the BJP and political commentators—were slightly baffled about why a seasoned politician like Tawde with four decades of experience would go to Nalasopara less than 24 hours before elections, with or without cash.What seemed to stun people less was ...
