PMO refuses sharing information on meeting with Walmart lobbyists

Now, there seems to be a change, especially in the case of Walmart, the controversial company in the middle of it all.

An analysis of the past public records on the websites of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate through the last five years shows no information on lobbying activity by Walmart for any specific market, including India.

Walmart and many other overseas supermarket chains have been wanting to set shop for many years in India, which opened up this business for foreign players last year with a 51 per cent equity cap despite stiff political opposition.
