BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's charge that Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra called him a "Bihari Gunda" thrice during a meeting has seeded an ugly row within the parliamentary group for IT.

The BJP leader has taken his complaint to Speaker Om Birla, but Mahua Moitra has denied the allegation, saying she is accused of using the slur during a meeting that never took place and Mr Dubey was not present.

"TMC is allergic to all the Hindi-speaking people. That's why they called me 'Bihari Gunda'. This is an attack on Bihar's pride. I have submitted all the facts to the Speaker. She (Mahua Moitra) should apologise," Mr Dubey said on Wednesday.
