Sitharaman firmly rejected allegations that Centre is discriminating against non-BJP states during allocation of funds and called the Karnataka government's charge a "politically-vitiated narrative".The finance minister was replying to a question by Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in the Lok Sabha on the Karnataka government's claim that the Centre is not releasing funds due to it. Chowdhury was referring to a proposal backed by the Congress government in Karnataka to form a forum of southern states to ensure equitable distribution of resources from the Centre, including individual tax share from the divisible pool.
