NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), poised to take the most votes in a general election that started on Monday, said it would welcome foreign direct investment in sectors that would create jobs but not in multi-brand retail.

In its 52-page election manifesto, the BJP said it would allow foreign direct investment wherever needed for job and asset creation - including in infrastructure.
