Chennai: Adopting a wait and watch approach, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa today said her party's stand on Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee's proposed no-confidence motion against the UPA Government would be decided based on numbers.
"If the no-confidence motion comes, it has to be successful. So far nobody has approached us for support. If it comes up we can decide only after knowing how many (parties) and who are all supporting," the AIADMK supremo said.
Speaking to reporters after meeting party MPs on her party's strategy for the Winter session of Parliament, she said the AIADMK, which has nine MPs, would oppose FDI in retail if it came up for voting.
"I have issued a clear statement. We oppose FDI in retail. I will not allow it in Tamil Nadu. There is no change in our stand," Ms Jayalalithaa said.
Responding to a question on the talk about early Lok Sabha election, she said her party would welcome it as it was ready to face the polls anytime.
She also slammed the Congress for mocking the national auditor CAG over the 2G spectrum auction. "Congress is enacting a drama," she said when asked about the government's view that the presumptive loss estimated by the CAG in 2G allocation was wrong and there was no scam.
