Seized Rs 1-Cr Cash Was Meant For Poor Candidates, Says Congress MLA

Even as the Maharashtra Election Commission has taken a serious note of the recent seizure of unaccounted cash to the tune of Rs one crore, Congress MLA Raosaheb Shekhawat today said the amount was supposed to be distributed among financially weak candidates in the fray for February 16 civic polls.

“I had sought funds from the state Congress Committee for distributing them among 87 party candidates as most of them are women and poor. Accordingly, Rs 1 crore was sent to me which was to be distributed at Rs 1 lakh per candidate and the rest (of the money) was meant for the district Congress committee.
