Now it has come to light that money was found in Vinod Tawde’s bag.”“Yesterday, when the attack on Anil Deshmukh took place, who should have investigated where the stones came from? I pray to Mother Tuljabhavani that this corrupt and terror-spreading government be removed from the state,” he added.Polls for the 288-member state assembly will be held on November 20, and the votes will be counted on November 23.(With inputs from PTI)
