"I am shocked that at a time when there are serious challenges to economy, the BJP is trying to confuse and scare away the foreign investors ... This statement reflects and confirms the cynicism of the principal opposition party," Sharma told reporters.
Earlier in the day, BJP chief Spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad had said :"We are opposed to FDI in multi-brand retail and once we come to power, the consequences will follow".
Sharma said investments would come to India in response to the extant policy.
"No government can arbitrarily reverse (policies), because the legal consequence follow ... They cannot lawfully do," Sharma said.
