North India shed more tears for Sridevi than South:BJP Spokesperson

"When Sridevi died recently, north India probably shed more tears than south India. Was north India looking at the fact that she came from the South?" he asked.

Several senior leaders and CMs of the southern states in the past few weeks have raised their objections to the revenue sharing model the Centre has followed so far and the one that has been proposed in the 15th Finance Commission.
