BSP has indicated that it will support the government in Parliament on the issue of FDI , saying the fact that the Centre has not thrust the policy on states and the aim of keeping communal forces at bay will determine its stand.

Addressing a press conference in New Delhi on Monday BSP chief Mayawati said her party feels the FDI in multi-brand is needed for the country's economic growth but the policy should be implemented with certain conditions to prevent the harmful impact of some of its provisions on the poor and the middle class.

She pointed out that though BSP has not yet taken a decision on the issue, when the matter comes up in Parliament these two issues will determine its stand.

She said, in case of voting on the FDI in retail issue her party will keep these two factors in mind while taking the right and proper decision in the interest of the country.

Asked if BSP is putting the passage of the Reservation in promotion for SC/ST as a pre-condition to pledge support to the UPA government, Mayawati replied in the negative. The BSP chief, however, maintained that her party still has certain reservations about the FDI policy in its present form and suggested that the government do a serious analysis of its impact on the poor and the middle class before implementing it.
