Kolhapur: Senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde on Thursday said the government should completely roll back its decision on FDI in retail instead of just holding back the issue.

"The decision taken by the Centre regarding FDI is not beneficial for the country, traders and farmers. Under intense pressure from entire Opposition, the government announced suspension of its decision to allow FDI in retail but BJP is firm on its demand on cancellation," he said here.

On the party's stand on Lokpal Bill, Munde said BJP will support Lokpal Bill if it will be strong enough to give justice to common man.

BJP insists on including citizens' charter in the Lokpal and to bring Prime Minister under its purview, he said.

WHILE THE GOVT HAS KEPT FDI ON HOLD ! IT IS A BIG SURPRISE THAT ALL THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS SUPPORTING FDI IT IS ONLY POLITICIANS WHO HAVE WASTED INTERESTS ABOUT THE POLITICAL CAREER AND WITHOUT MAINTAINING THE PARTY POLICIES EVERY MEMBER IS SPEAKING ON ANY POLICY WHICH SURE CREATES A PROBLEM FOR THE COMMON MAN TO UNDERSTAND THE FACTS ! IT WILL BE THE GREATER INTEREST OF OUR COUNTRY TO HAVE A ONE PARTY RULE WHICH CAN BE ANY POLITICAL PARTY WITH COMPLETE MAJORITY LIKE IN THE CASE OF TAMIL NADU AND WEST BENGAL ASSEMBLIES WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO TAKE RIGHT OR WRONG DECESIONS LIKE MAYAVATI IN UTTAR PRADESH ! SUCH ELECTIONS ARE ALWAYS BASED ON THE PROMISES THAT A PARTICULAR PARTY WANTS TO PERSUE ! WHEN IT COMES TO ALLIANCE WITH OTHER PARTIES IT SHOULD BE VERY CLEAR TO PARTNERS THAT BASED ON THE AGENDA AGREED UPON THEY SHOULD NOT CHANGE THEIR STAND TILL NEXT FIVE YEARS MANDATE ! THAT TIME THEY CAN CHOOSE TO REMAIN OR STAY AWAY FROM THE ALLIANCE ! THIS WILL CERTAINLY ALLOW TO PURSUE THE AGENDA FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE ! WE ALL SURE WANT TO SAVE OUR TIME IN IMPLEMENTING POLICIES.
