Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan today ruled out the possibility of mid-term polls in the country despite Trinamool Congress pulling out of the UPA government.
"UPA has the support of pro-reform parties. Besides, people don't want elections now but are looking forward to policy decisions which are in their interest," Chavan told reporters, after performing Ganesh puja at his official residence 'Varsha' in south Mumbai.
Stressing that there is no political instability at the Centre, Chavan said he is keeping a watch on the unfolding of political developments in Delhi.
Stating that people are not against reforms, he said "nobody likes a price rise. But at the same time economic reforms are needed for growth."
The implementation of FDI in retail is in the hands of the state governments. "The states will be instrumental in giving permissions and licenses to companies," he said.

There are no pro-reform parties in India as of now, however if you go for pro corruption parties there are enough. People will not mind for a fresh election. Each policy decision will cost exchequer lakhs of crores of rupees but no benefit to the common man. When there is loss of more than 10 lakh crores as of now since last couples of years what if another lakh crore spent for an election. People of India now want a fresh election immediately.
