CPI-M leader Prakash Karat is quite correct in demanding Dr. Manmohan Singh to quit.The
UPA government has no moral authority to stick on to power. If it wants to continue in power, a
situation like 1991 may recur, which is not good for the functioning of parliamentary democracy
in India. Mr. Mulayam Singh (Samajwadi Party) and Mrs. Mayawati (Bahujan Samajwadi Party )
may be pressurised to support the government because corruption cases are pending against them; Samajwadi Party has 19 MPs and Bahujan Samajwadi Party has 21 MPs in the Lok Sabha.
Nevertheless, all the coalition partners of UPA II as well as those parties supporting from outside
have expressed strong opposition to the rush of reform measures, especially Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail and decision on curtailing supply of subsidised domestic LPG
cylinders, announced by the Central government last week. The West Bengal the Chief Minister,
being an honest and upright person, has had the guts to tell the Dr. Manmohan Singh’s
government that her party will pull out of the coalition unless the government withdrew the
anti-people “reform measures” announced unilaterally, especially 51 percent FDI in multi-brand
retail trade, under pressure from foreign multinational retail giants and the American and
European Union governments. As stated by this commentator, again and again, the some leaders
of the Indian government and a set of high level officials with the same mindset as that of their masters
have, for various reasons, fallen prey to the constant lobbying by the multinational retail giants.
Dr. Singh and his companions in the government as well as the bureaucrats know very well that
FDI in multi-brand retail will do more harm than benefit to the people
