Chennai: AIADMK
general secretary J. Jayalalithaa Tuesday said her party will vote
against the union government's decision to allow foreign direct
investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail if a motion is brought in
parliament.
Speaking to reporters here, Jayalalithaa, the Tamil Nadu chief
minister, said her party would vote against any motion that sought
to bring FDI in retail since it was against the country's
interests.
She reiterated her government's stance of not allowing FDI in
retail in Tamil Nadu.
Asked about AIADMK's stand on a proposed no-confidence motion
against the union government in parliament, Jayalalithaa said: "So
far no one has approached the AIADMK for support for any
no-confidence motion. If such a request comes, we'll examine it."
She said her party would take a call depending on the positions
taken by other parties on the no-confidence motion.
On Congress projecting Rahul Gandhi as a prime ministerial
candidate, Jayalalithaa said the party had the freedom and right
to choose its candidate for the post of prime minister.
