SP Hints at Moving Resolution Against FDI in Parliament
Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today expressed total opposition to the FDI in retail and indicated that his party may bring a resolution in Parliament against it.

"We are opposed to the FDI in retail sector and we will force this government to withdraw the decision," Yadav told IBN-7 on the Teekhi Baat programme.

Yadav said his party would not oppose a resolution in this regard proposed by Trinamool Congress.

"We will not oppose it...We will support it...Our party may also bring a resolution against FDI," Yadav said.

He, however, said, "such a situation may not arise" as their party would force the government to withdraw the decision.

The SP chief was evasive on whether there would be mid- term polls or whether his party would withdraw support to the UPA. He, however, said his party was ready for mid-term polls if they happen.

Asked if Congress-led UPA would complete its full term, he said "it is for the government to see".

On CPI-M General Secretary Prakash Karat's suggestion that he should lead the opposition and form a government, he said he was grateful to Karat for saying so as the two were on the same plain on various issues.

Yadav said he has already talked to Left parties and they were together with SP on economic policies, especially the FDI in retail. He added TDP's Chandrababu Naidu was also on the same page.

Predicting that neither Congress nor BJP would come to power, he said he would be meeting leaders of other like-minded parties to bring them together.

Well, no one can accuse Mulayam about his deviousness. Only he wants the TMC to move a resolution against the FDI in Retail, so he , BSP and other also rans can either abstain or vote against it, This will expose Mamata completely and please the GOP immensely.Just as he did on the Presidential polle.I hope those who get into the river on this mudhorse have learnt their lesson.. Nothing short of positioning Akhilesh properly in UP and Nationally will satisfy Mulayam Singh.
