          Patna,(BiharTimes): Bihar BJP chief Dr C P Thakur said that Foreign Direct   Investment in retail would directly affect and harm small and medium traders. He   said BJP, which is an alliance partner of the JD(U) would not allow its   implementation in Bihar. BJP would organise a dharna at Kargil chowk here on   July 23 to oppose the move to bring FDI in retail.   |  Talking to   reporters here, he said FDI in retail would deal acrushing blow to small and   medium farmers and accused the Centre of playing into the hands of big   multi-national companies.
 He   said the UPA government at the Centre was conspiring to compel retailers and   small traders to close down their establishments.
 The   state BJP chief also opposed GST which, according to him, would entail   additional burden on retailers and urge the Centre to make a   user-seller-friendly law.
