The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the party manifesto had expressed its opposition to the policy of FDI in multi-brand retail.
"The Walmart experience shows that farmers in the US were not benefited, but deprived besides being a very bad employer," Arvind Kejriwal, party's founder and now Delhi Chief Minister, had said earlier.
On the national level, the FDI in multi-brand retail had not evoked the expected response from the global retailers. Till now only one proposal of UK-based Tesco has been cleared by the central government.
