FDI has been in air quite a long time like lokpal has been. however lokpal received eyes and arguments from different sections of society. we got very healthy debate and lokpal got purified , rectified, improvised and finally meeting its destiny. FDI was taken for granted, it was thought and understood one good step. No one speaks against it, no one 
initiated or invited discussions on it. So government worked – reworked and allowed FDI from 49 to 51% in multi-brand retail. This government timing has been very poor, always. It was initially known for not making decisions and now being notorious for making decisions on wrong time. Elections in UP is due at any time and more or less depend on wish and will of Bahan ji, Mayawati. Rahul gandhi is hitting hard again and time again. He may or may not have been succeed but it is being echoed more in BJP and SP than BSP. So what to do at this point of time. This time FDI bar raised from 49% to 51 % and Bahan ji Mayawati argued that this has been done to please friends of Rahul gandhi. And whole politico scenario changed in no time, Uma bharti reacted equally furious when she left BJP and blasted on L K Advani ! she is ready to commit crime than allow FDI. This is strange, two good speaking leaders of BJP haven’t told why FDI should not be allowed? Mayawati at least told why FDI is not allowed, lady thinks all FDIs are good friend of Rahul gandhi… But why BJP is opposing it..do BJP make stand according to or follow mamta banerjee, Jay lalita, Mayawati or Kerala Congress !! Madam Sushma swaraj.. please say something on FDI… why you want to support middleman or broker.. we already have FDI upto 49% in retail… what is that 2% that will kill india or will lead to slavery !
It should be noted that Wal-mart is not a new entrant they are already in India with Bharti, they have already set up easy day and running successfully. Big Bazar is already doing great business. Have we done any study of impact of these retail giant on local shopkeepers or say farmers ? No. why ? Not required. reason : There have been no impact on these sections at all !
In multi-brand we are already having players like, Big Bazar, Spencers, Vishal Mega Mart, Ritu wears, shoppers stop etc.
This is time of making mature decisions for BJP. UP is up and BJP believe it , following Anna because people follow him need not to be replicated in FDI, oppose FDI because Mayawati, Jaylalita, Mamta Banrejee oppose it.
