The BJP has demanded an investigation into the alleged spending in India by the global retail giant Walmart for lobbying. Talking to reporters in New Delhi yesterday, party Spokesman Ravi Shanker Prasad, quoting media reports, said the retail giant had spent 125 crore rupees in India for lobbing since 2008. He said the Prime Minister should clarify on the issue.
Reacting to the alleged demand of the BJP bribing official to get Walmart entry into the country, External Affair Minister Salman Khurshid said US is conducting an enquiry and it is hoped they would share the findings with India.
