The Opposition has targeted several ministers including women and child development minister Pankaja Munde and education minister Vinod Tawde over alleged corruption. Maharashtra Legislative Council on Monday witnessed a dramatic moment when the Food and Civil Supplies Minister Girish Bapat said he would "give up" his life if the allegations of corruption against him were proved. Leader of Opposition Dhanajay Munde (NCP) earlier said the Opposition wanted inquiry into the allegations. "The government should face inquiry either through an SIT, the Anti-Corruption Bureau or a sitting High Court judge," demanded Munde. He was willing to serve as the concerned ministers' "servant" if his claims were proved to be false, Munde said.
