New Delhi: Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is sticking to her deadline to the government demanding a rollback in the diesel price hike and FDI in retail. "My 72-hour deadline stands after which we will take a hard decision," Mamata told CNN-IBN.
The Trinamool Congress had on Friday issued a 72-hour deadline for the government to roll back decisions on diesel, LPG and FDI. The TMC parliamentary party will meet on Tuesday to chart its next course of action. TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee will also be present in the meeting, say sources.
"TMC opposes any kind of FDI in retail sector," Railway Minister and TMC leader Mukul Roy said.
Mukul Roy has called up Congress leader Ahmed Patel and conveyed the message.
TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh demanded review of the decision. "Otherwise, we will protest," he said.
In a major decision signalling the end of policy paralysis in the UPA government, the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) on Thursday accepted 51 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail.
