Mayawati mellows down over FDI in retail after meeting with PM

BSP supremo Mayawati today sounded less belligerent over foreign direct investment in retail after meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi. Singh invited Mayawati for a lunch to chalk out strategy and put up a united front to face the opposition in the upcoming Parliament's winter session. Last month, the BSP had joined a nationwide opposition-led protest, triggered by the government decision to allow international super markets such as Wal-Mart into domestic market.Keywords: Mayawati, FDI, Manmohan Singh, Lunch
