The Lok Sabha on Monday witnessed a sharp exchange between Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury after Mr. Chowdhury alleged discrimination in devolution of funds to Congress-ruled Karnataka and other non-Bharatiya Janata Party ruled States.
Replying to a supplementary question by Mr. Chowdhury during the Question Hour, Ms. Sitharaman said that it is a “politically-vitiated narrative that vested interests are happy to go about saying”.
