First proof, then probe, CM tells Opposition on Munde's chikki 'scam'

June 26, 2015 12:54

Govt ready for probe into alleged irregularities in awarding contracts by Woman and child welfare ministry under Pankaja Munde if Opposition gives evidence, says Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis.

Maharashtra Minister Pankaja Munde was at the centre of a controversy with the Congress accusing her of involvement in a "scam" by clearing purchases worth Rs 206 crore through Government Resolutions on a single day instead of inviting tenders, in violation of the norms.

The alleged purchases relate to a host of items including snacks, mats, dishes and books for children under the integrated child development services by the women and child development ministry which Munde heads.
