Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said that there has been no wrongdoing on part of Women and Child Development Minister Pankaja Munde, who has been accused of flouting norms while clearing purchase orders. Speaking to reporters in Mumbai yesterday, Mr. Fadnavis said ‘prima facie, it appears that nothing is wrong but the Government will probe the issue, if needed.
The Chief Minister said he has spoken to Ms. Munde who assured him that she had not committed any irregularity and is ready to face any inquiry.
Opposition Congress and others have raised the issue of Rs 206 crore worth purchases sanctioned by Ms. Munde on a single day, alleging that she violated rules in the process.
