Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said that his party's support for FDI in retail should not be taken for granted even in the Lok Sabha, and strongly hinted that they would abstain rather than vote for the measure. Speaking to the Times Now channel Yadav said, Our final stand on FDI will only be decided after listening to the logic of the government, the arguments of the government, and what benefits they say it will give the country. However he added that it was already a foregone conclusion that it would not be implemented in Uttar Pradesh, no matter what Delhi decides. The role of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which support the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government from outside, are crucial in the debate.
