New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to announce a second term for its President Nitin Gadkari on Friday as its conclave in Surajkund, Haryana, ends.
On Thursday, the BJP defended its stand on the ruling United Progressive Alliance's (UPA) reforms push, saying it was not anti-reforms but was opposed to foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail and fuel price hikes as they were anti-people.
Releasing a 2002 letter by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in which he had opposed FDI in retail, the BJP pointed out that there were several hurdles in the implementation of the UPA's decision on FDI in multi-brand retail, as India was a signatory to bilateral agreements with 82 countries where it could not stop foreign multinationals from entering certain states if it allowed domestic companies to set up shop.
