Problems for Reliance Retail agriculture based retail program

Reliance Retail’s ambitions for setting up an agri-retail plan in the state of West Bengal is running into problems from top CPI-M leaders having voiced opposition to the project, even though it has been supported by the Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee. At the CPI-M's weekly meeting, Jyoti Basu said that, "We are opposed to the way it (the Reliance project) is being done. It has created a lot of problems between us and it needs to be discussed by the party Central Committee and Politburo before a decision is taken.”
