Facing a logjam in Parliament, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today stepped-up efforts to bring UPA allies on-board on the issue of FDI in retail but key partner Trinamool Congress insisted on rollback of the controversial decision.
“Our stand remains the same. We want discussion,” Trinamool Congress leader Sudip Bandopadhyaya told reporters after a meeting with the Prime Minister.
Representatives of DMK and National Conference were also present at the meeting called in the wake of opposition demands for an adjournment motion on the issue that has paralysed Parliament for the last five days.
