The feeling of the common people always has been that the government is completely under the control of the corporates and the big business. The perception in once again got confirmed by the latest decision of the central government to increase the FDI in Multi-brand retail sector.

The move of the government to increase the FDI in multi-brand retail was opposed not only by the opposition parties but also by the UPA allies also. The bill on FDI could not be passed in the Parliament due to the strong opposition and the government unable to get the required numbers. Now that the Parliament session is over, the government without any sham has decided to increase the FDI. This decision will have serious adverse effect on the crores of retail trades in the country as also the people who depend upon them. The present decision will only help the MNCs like Walmart and the big business in India. Strong protest should erupt against this anti-people and undemocratic decision.
