The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has announced that it will support the government if a vote takes place on FDI in multi-brand retail.
This comes even as the DMK has been against FDI. DMK chief Karunanidhi said the decision has been taken to save the government and keep communal forces at bay. "DMK took the decision with "bitterness" to prevent communal forces from coming to power," Karunanidhi said
The UPA needs both the BSP and the SP to take its numbers to about 300 odd, safely across the halfway mark at 273 in the 545-seat Lok Sabha. Without them, including the DMK, it has about 240 MPs. Though the government will not fall if it loses a discussion-and-vote in Parliament, it will be a crippling embarrassment
