FDI debate in Rajya Sabha: BSP to vote for govt, says Mayawati

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has decided to vote in favour of the government during the voting on allowing foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail in the Rajya Sabha tomorrow. BSP chief Mayawati announced this during the debate today. "The policy is good but is that it is not compulsory for all states. We have also considered whether to stand with communal forces. There can be disruption in the coming days. Important bills are pending, the government will get the excuse to escape important issues. That's why looking at plus points, the BSP will vote in favour of the government," Mayawati said.
