UPA should seek House’s approval for reforms: BJP
15 Oct 2012 6:54 AM IST
BJP on Sunday demanded that the UPA government should seek approval of Parliament for reforms like allowing FDI in pension and insurance sectors.
Speaking to reporters here, senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu termed the FDI in retail, pension and insurance sectors as anti-poor and anti-farmers and asked the Congress-led UPA government not to take any ‘unilateral’ decisions on major issues that could affect the country in general, and common man in particular.
‘The UPA can dissolve Parliament and seek mandate of the people afresh if it is confident that its reform processes were, indeed, pro-poor,’ Naidu said.
The UPA govt has lost its moral right to take ‘unilateral’ decisions after TMC, led by WB Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee withdrew its support to it and also parties like SP and BSP have been opposing to allow FDI in retail, the BJP leader said.
The results of two LS bypolls in Uttarakhand and WB also showed that UPA govt was fast losing confidence of the people, he claimed.
While the Cong lost in Tehri in Uttarakhand, it narrowly scraped through at the Jangipur seat in WB that fell vacant after Pranab Mukherjee became President.
