Uddhav Thackeray, leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), accused BJP general secretary Vinod Tawde of distributing money to voters in Palghar, labeling it "note jihad." Thackeray demanded action from the Election Commission, citing a video showing bundles of cash. While Tawde denied the allegations, claiming he was guiding party workers, Thackeray criticized the BJP's tactics and urged Maharashtra to take notice.
