The BJP while in opposition was opposing vociferously the UPA government’s attempt to allow Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail trading stating that it will doom the lives of lakhs of small retail traders in the country. Yes, it is the reality.

But now the BJP government has changed their earlier stand and says that it will follow the earlier UPA governments policy . What is the reason for this shift? It could be nothing else but the pressure of the foreign multi-nationals and their sponsors, the imperialist countries. This will happen in our country as the priority of the ruling class is always the corporates and not the common people of this country.
