The Maharashtra government will set up a committee to probe the alleged misuse of state funds in the implementation of the Prajwala scheme launched by the erstwhile BJP-led government, Women and Child Development Minister Yashomati Thakur told the Legislative Council on Monday.

Responding to calling attention raised by Shiv Sena legislator Manisha Kayande, Thakur said, “The Maharashtra government will set up an inquiry committee which will probe the alleged misuse and wrongful usage of state funds under Prajwala scheme. The then chairperson of the state women’s commission will also be asked to depose before the inquiry commission.”
