Actually, Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who had dramatically announced yesterday that her six ministers would resign from the Manmohan Singh Government on Friday and she will no longer support the Government, stepped up her attack on the Congress party.
"I will stick to my position, come what may...The (TMC) ministers will tender their resignations," she said adding there will be no compromise on people's issue like FDI in retail.
Rejecting Finance Minister P Chidambaram's statement in Delhi this morning, Banerjee said that nobody from Delhi contacted her before or after the Centre took the decisions to hike diesel price, cap supply of subsidised cylinders and allow FDI in retail.
"Minimum 24 cylinders should be given to a family in a year. How many times you will keep raising the petroleum prices? FDI in retail should be withdrawn," she said in Kolkata.
After a meeting of Group of Ministers on media, Chidambaram told reporters "I don't know why you guys are hung up on that one word rollback. These issues (decisions) were taken after the most careful consideration. They stand."
In Ahmedabad, Commerce Minister Anand Sharma said the Government does not believe in rollback as decisions were made after much deliberations. (MORE)
