Mamata Banerjee likely to withdraw ministers from UPA: Sources to NDTV


New Delhi/Kolkata: Sources have told NDTV that Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to withdraw her ministers from the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre over the introduction of Foreign Direct Investment in multi-brand retail and hike in diesel prices. The Trinamool Congress is now likely to give only outside support to the ruling coalition, sources added. 

A final decision is expected on Tuesday when Ms Banerjee meets with her party's top brass. The Trinamool Congress has six ministers at the Centre and 19 members in Parliament.

The Congress, however, remained unfazed. "We are confident that we will be able to resolve all issues through dialogue," said party spokesperson Rashid Alvi.
