Defence Minister A K Antony held an hour-long meeting here
with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the backdrop of the
Trinamool Congress' (TC) stiff opposition to FDI in multibrand retail, forward
trading and pension bills.
Neither Antony nor Banerjee briefed the press about the
deliberations when hordes of scribes sought their comments on what they
discussed at the Writers' Buildings.
UPA is seeking ally TC's nod to FDI in multibrand retail and
other key reforms and the meeting came ahead of the next UPA coordination
committee meeting expected to be held later this month in Delhi.
Antony, however, said the defence ministry would provide all
support to the state government in its Ganga riverbank beautification scheme in
the city.
