An estranged UPA ally of United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government Trinamool Congress (TMC) Party Saturday announced to continue its agitation over the Centre's decision to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail sectors.
In this move, TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee Saturday announced to go for a huge agitation on the streets of New Delhi on October 01, 2012.
TMC is claiming that government's anti-poor decision would hurt millions of small shopkeepers.
On this line of protest, Mamata earlier this month withdraw support from UPA govt protesting over government's move of hiking diesel prices, limiting domestic LPG cylinder by six and allowing FDI in retail.
With her 19 lawmakers in parliament, she was the second biggest ally of the Congress party, which has now become a minority government.
Many experts say her breaking away from the government could actually free the economist prime minister to announce some more long pending reforms.
With no party willing to face the electorate right now, the government is not in immediate danger of losing power.
