New Delhi/Lucknow/Vadodara, Oct.10 (ANI): The ruling Congress Party and the UPA-II Government seemed upbeat on Wednesday about the continuance of external support from other like-minded outfits such as the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajeev Shukla stated this here on Wednesday.
He was reacting to the suspense over the issue of the BSP withdrawing its support from the outside for the government as a mark of protest against certain economic policies declared and pursued by(UPA).
Earlier in the day, the national convention of (BSP) leader Mayawati said that her party’s national executive had asked her to take the final decision on extending external support to the UPA regime.
The government has faced waves of criticism over its decision to allow (FDI) in multi-brand retail sector.
As a result of fallout with coalition partners, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) walked out of the government. This crisis also hit the UPA government’s ties with other supporters such as the BSP and the SP, which have also gone vocal about their resentment over the issue. In the backdrop of these developments, Shukla expressed hope for the BSP’s sustained support .
He contended that ideological differences would be sorted out.“I would ask our supporting parties that if there are any differences on any policies and matters then we would try to explain all the aspects and convince them so that all misunderstandings can wither away,” said Shukla.
