It has come out that the retail chain MNC, Wal-Mart had spent $ 25 million dollars ( about Rs. 125 crore) for lobbying for getting markets including in India. This was disclosed in a report to the US Senate by the company. In September 2012 alone it has spent Rs. 10 crore for discussions related to FDI in India. It is also stated that Wal-Mart has been continuously lobbying for Indian market since 2008.

However, it is not known how this lobbying money was spent? It will mostly be bribery only. If it is so, it is certain that the ruling class in India and especially those in power at centre might have been involved. The MNCs know who are to be contacted and how to get things got done. The visit of the US officials continuously and meeting with top politicians  is not a secret. The aggressiveness and the adamant attitude of the UPA-II government in defeating the resolution against FDI in Parliament , by whatever means, and allowing the Wal Marts to enter and loot India is an indication of the involvement of the rulers with Wal-Mart.

The coming days will see much more than this exposure, which is only a small part.
