New Delhi: The CPI-M
has yet not decided on the Trinamool Congress's move to bring a
no-confidence motion against the UPA government in the winter
session of parliament but it will push for voting on the issue of
FDI in multi-brand retail, a party leader said Sunday.
"We have not decided yet... It has not been discussed in the
party," Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader in the Lok
Sabha Basudeb Acharia told IANS.
The winter session of parliament begins Nov 22.
Acharia, however, said the outcome of a no-confidence motion was
likely to depend on the stance of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) - two of the parties supporting the
United Progressive Alliance government from outside.
"(We) do not know if SP, BSP will do it (vote against
government)," he said.
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee had Saturday announced
that her party will bring a no-confidence motion against the UPA
government in the winter session of parliament.
She asked all political parties, including the Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) and her bete noire CPI-M, to support her move and said
party leader Sudip Bandopadhyay would move the no-confidence
motion on the opening day of the session.
Acharia said voting on the government decision to bring foreign
direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail was a must to
prevent its implementation.
"We have given notice (for discussion) under rule 184. Voting is
essential. If the resolution is adopted, FDI will not be
implemented," Acharia said.
The government had taken the decision to allow FDI in multi-brand
retail in September this year.
The CPI-M has given notice in both houses of parliament - the Lok
Sabha and the Rajya Sabha - for discussion on the government's
decision to allow FDI in multi-brand retail under rules which
entail voting.
Acharia said the CPI-M expected Trinamool Congress to vote against
the government on FDI in retail as it was stoutly opposed to the
decision.
He said CPI-M will talk to various political parties to garner
support against the decision in parliament.
Acharia said SP and DMK leaders had opposed the decision on FDI in
multi-brand retail.
The CPI-M leader said his party will also raise the issues of
price rise, corruption, food security, and coal block allocation.
