Maintaining opposition to FDI in retail sector, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today said his government will not allow its implementation in the state.

"Samajwadi Party's view is very clear on the FDI issue and it will not implement it in Uttar Pradesh," Yadav told reporters here. Denying that there was a proposal to open such stores in the state, he said, "But the question is, what will happen to the stores already opened.
