Congress President Rahul Gandhi couldn't have asked for more to campaign here in Wardha, where a BJP nominee and sitting member of Parliament (MP), Ramdas Tadas, is accused of having a budget of R25 crore to contest the elections. In a sting operation by a private news channel, the BJP leader is also alleged to have paid some people to field proxy candidates in the race, so that the splitting of votes helps him retain the seat.

Gandhi will be here to seek votes for Charulata Rau Tokas, who is pitted against the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Ramdas Tadas. However, it would be interesting to see if Gandhi speaks about the charges against the BJP candidate, because in the said sting, three Congress MPs too were accused of similar charges, including provision of cash for votes.
