BJP on FDI: Govt will get fitting reply from people
December 07, 2012
Reactions after the Rajya Sabha voted for FDI. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath urged the BJP to accept its defeat, and said that the people of the
country have now understood that the main opposition party is
politicising the FDI issue.
"The BJP always makes these
allegations and I would wish that they were better losers. They lost in
the Lok Sabha they made the allegations, they lost in the Rajya Sabha
and they are making these allegations," he said, when asked whether the
FDI votes were bought.
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader M.
Venkaiah Naidu on his part expressed disappointment with the UPA's
victory in the Rajya Sabha, saying the ruling government would get a
fitting reply from the people of the country. "We might have
lost in numbers because of the manipulation of the ruling party. But
it's a moral victory. If you go by the speeches made in the house by
different parties, overwhelming majority members of the Rajya Sabha has
opposed the FDI in retail."
