Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Shiv Sena member Priyanka Chaturvedi traded barbs on the use of word misappropriation during a discussion in Rajya Sabha on Monday.
Taking part in the discussion on Appropriation Bills in the Upper House, Ms Chaturvedi cited various newspaper headlines to attack the government on issues like low employment rates across states and the lowest EPFO rate in 40 years.
She also pointed to the slide in the value of the rupee and "lack of government support" to the MSME sector.
"The kind of Budgets which have been presented have restricted the level of growth... these are headlines from the last two months and from this, you would come to know whether it is appropriation or misappropriation. I would not like to go into details regarding this," Ms Chaturvedi noted while opposing the Bills.
