Rs. 1 crore seized: President's son in a spot

Days ahead of the Municipal Corporation polls in Maharashtra, the state Congress has been caught in an embarrassing situation over the seizure of Rs. one crore cash by the police. President Pratibha Patil's son and Congress MLA Raosaheb Shekhawat has said that the money was meant for distribution among the financially-weak candidates for the local civic polls on February 16. But the BJP, which is in the Opposition in the Congress-NCP ruled Municipal Corporation, alleged that the Congress has put the money into circulation to influence voters before polls.
