A day after Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee announced withdrawal of support to the UPA government, she refused to budge from her stand, saying that the decision has already been taken. The Chief Minister asserted that it was only the people who mattered to her party and the party was ready to sacrifice and suffer for them. Referring to the coordination committee set up by the UPA government, Ms. Banerjee said, “When did this coordination committee suddenly become an ordinance It has vanished. She pointed out that despite an assurance by the former Finance Minister, Pranab Mukherjee that any decision to bring foreign direct investment in the retail sector would not be taken without consensus, the UPA government had taken all decisions unilaterally. Reiterating her opposition to allow FDI in the multi-brand retail sector, she said the Manmohan Singh government could not forcefully implement and pass it in Parliament. She also questioned the Centre’s decision to allow States to decide on the implementation of FDI. Mamata said the Petroleum Ministry’s decision to restrict subsidy to six LPG cylinders was directed at “super humans” who would only be “dieting and not eating.” For any normal family, the requirement was 24 cylinders annually and it was her demand that subsidies be provided for all these cylinders.
