‘NCP stand on FDI political’
Age correspondent
mumbai, dec. 17
CM Prithviraj Chavan on Monday said that NCP’s opposition to multi-brand foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail in Maharashtra was politically motivated. The CM said that the FDI was necessary to protect India’s economy from global meltdown.
“I have spoken to NCP chief Sharad Pawar and he told me that his party’s stand on the FDI is very clear. They supported the issue in the Parliament,” the CM said. However, the state NCP has asked the CM not to take any decision regarding implementation of multi-brand FDI in retail in the state without consulting it, even though the party voted in favour of the move in the Lok Sabha.
A letter signed by NCP state president Madhukar Pichad was delivered to Mr Chavan by former deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar on December 4. “There are Mathadi labour unions, market committees and we have to ensure that their interests are not harmed while implementing FDI in retail,” Mr Pichad had said.
Referring to state NCP’s objection to FDI in Maharashtra, Mr Chavan added, “FDI up to 49 per cent in multi-brand retail is already allowed. The question was whether to allow ownership of the business to multinational companies.”
