Patna,(BiharTimes): Bihar BJP chief Dr C P Thakur said that Foreign Direct Investment in retail would directly affect and harm small and medium traders. He said BJP, which is an alliance partner of the JD(U) would not allow its implementation in Bihar. BJP would organise a dharna at Kargil chowk here on July 23 to oppose the move to bring FDI in retail.

Talking to reporters here, he said FDI in retail would deal a
crushing blow to small and medium farmers and accused the Centre of playing into the hands of big multi-national companies.
He said the UPA government at the Centre was conspiring to compel retailers and small traders to close down their establishments.
The state BJP chief also opposed GST which, according to him, would entail additional burden on retailers and urge the Centre to make a user-seller-friendly law.
