Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has taken a jibe at the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, saying the "separatist mindset dominates" the party's "so-called Dravidian model of politics".
"Their (DMK) time is spent on not looking at these incidents but bringing separatist logic. They allege their tax money is going to Bihar. Is Bihar in Pakistan? People from Bihar can work in your factories. You can make your profit. But you want to keep your tax money to yourself. Separatist mindset dominates the so-called Dravidian model of politics," Ms Sitharaman told the news agency PTI.
DMK MP Tiruchi Siva, however, rejected her criticism, saying that his party's demands are "genuine".
"What is due to Tamil Nadu should be given," he told NDTV.
