Government to explain Mamata about the reason of decisions

New Delhi:The UPA government will explain the reasons on the issue of diesel price hike and FDI in retail behind its decisions to the Trinamool Congress which has decided to withdraw support to the coalition.
There was no indication as to what the government would do on the demands of Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee who has sought the total withdrawal of FDI in retail, the slashing of Rs 5 hike in diesel price by Rs 4 or Rs 3 and raise the cap on LPG cylinders from 6 to 12.

When asked about the Trinamool demands for roll back of the decisions, the sources merely said, “ask the petroleum minister”.

The sources recalled that the government sought to reach out to Mamata Banerjee four days ago to explain the background behind the decisions it took.

The Prime Minister tried to speak to Banerjee twice over phone but she did not return the calls. Then Railway Minister Mukul Roy was contacted, the sources said, adding Roy acknowledged that Banerjee had received the message.

However, Roy said that nobody from the Government has spoken to him after Mamata Banerjee decided on withdrawing support last night.
