Congress President Sonia Gandhi finally stepped into the ongoing tussle between the Centre and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the economic reforms introduced by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to bring the economy back on track. Mamata's 72-hour deadline for the rollback of reforms that included 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail, hike in diesel prices and a cap on subsidised LPG cylinders, ends. Mamata said she will take a decision on the issue at 5 pm in the evening. Sonia Gandhi is expected to meet Manmohan Singh shortly to discuss his impending talk with the West Bengal Chief Minister. Sources say this will be the UPA's last attempt to win the key ally into confidence over the reforms.
