Vinod Tawde faces allegations of irregularities in awarding contract

After Pankaja Munde was accused of corruption in awarding contracts worth Rs 206 crore, her colleague in the Maharashtra government, Education Minister Vinod Tawde, is facing allegations of irregularities in a contract awarded by him. The finance department has sought a detailed probe into allegations of irregularities in a Rs 191 crore contract awarded by Tawde’s School Education Department without e-tendering. The contract, cleared by Tawde, was put on hold after the finance department objected to it.
