"The decision of FDI in retail would prove detrimental to Indian industries, traders, farmers, consumers and common people at large. It will prove 'Frankenstein' for Indian economy," BJP's vice president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.
He said the party has already launched a week-long agitation against diesel price hike, LPG cylinder restriction and FDI in retail from September 17 and will chalk out a "more aggressive" nationwide agitation plan on price hike and scams of UPA at its three-day national executive and national council meeting in Haryana from September 26.
Attacking UPA policies, Naqvi said "our country is facing many challenges. The challenges are due to wrong and foreign market mafia-friendly policies as some international forces have hijacked the economic policies of the Congress-led government. It is also not known where they want to take the country."
The BJP leader charged the government with being more concerned about addressing the concerns of foreign companies, credit-rating agencies and US dollar's strength and Congress party had converted itself into a multi-national company of FDI.
"The UPA government believes that the people have given them the mandate to indulge in more corruption, raise prices and protect the interest of foreign market mafias," he alleged.
