Mamata is opposing development of the country: Congress

The Congress on Monday took potshots at West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee over her move of staging a demonstration at the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi against the Centre's new reforms, saying the UPA Government is determined to push economic reforms for the development of the country. Congress leader Jagdambika Pal said that Banerjee is advocating for middlemen, who have always been a hindrance between farmers and the buyers. Pal said FDI in retail sector would generate employment, which would further enhance the growth rate of the country. Congress spokesperson, Rashid Alvi said that Banerjee may have her own opinion but these economic reforms are in the benefit of the country.
