BJP slams Cong for 'double standards' on FDI
October 06, 2012  16:16

Alleging that Congress has been following double standards on FDI policy, BJP today said the party leading the UPA has no moral right to seek the support of the Opposition and the nation for its so-called reforms.        

 

The Congress had opposed foreign investment in retail during the NDA regime and it was also against raising the FDI cap in insurance to 49 per cent. But now it is seeking support of the Opposition and the nation on these issues to suit its opportunistic politics, senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu told reporters in Hyderabad.        

 

"It (Congress) opposes while in Opposition and proposes while in power," he said, adding allowing FDI in multi-brand retail and raising foreign investment cap in insurance shows sheer "double standards of the ruling party".
