  • Maharashtra Women and Child Development Minister Pankaja Munde was put in a tight spot for defying norms.

    This happened after news emerged regarding her department outflanking rules while ordering for material worth Rs. 206 crore.

    Pankaja cleared away 24 purchase orders to buy books, mats and chikki for anganwadi schools in a single day without inviting tenders, which goes directly against the government policy.

    Pankaj's reply to the allegations

  • Pankaja said that her department had not circumvented any laws and "rules were not violated. All purchases were done as per rules".

    Acting on a formal complaint by the state Congress party, the Anti Corrution Bureau asked for a detailed response from the principal secretary of the Department of Woman & Child Welfare over the Rs. 206 crore scam.

  • The Maharashtra government put its weight behind Pankaja Munde justifying her actions.

    They said that she had sanctioned purchases in February because the funds given by the Centre under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) would have expired on 31 March.

    Moreover, the rule of inviting e-tenders for purchases worth Rs. 3 lakh and more was not introduced by Fadnavis' government till April.
