BJP MP and Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan called former Finance Minister P Chidambaram 'chindi chor'. This comes after Chidambaram called the BJP-ruled Centre 'tukde tukde' gang after India slipped by 10 ranks in Global Democracy Index, as per a report. "People like Chidambaram...will always have trouble with people who [follow] rules...regulations," Pradhan said.
