A row has erupted over Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's 'UP-type' remark, with Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi saying on Wednesday that people of Uttar Pradesh are proud of their dialect and culture and that there was no need to "insult" the people of the state.

Reacting to Pankaj Chaudhary's remarks on Rahul Gandhi, Sitharaman had said, "I think he has given that typical UP-type of an answer which is good enough for an MP who ran away from UP."
