The government on Sunday said that it was confident of its "numbers" to win the crucial vote on FDI in multi-brand retail in both Houses of Parliament that will follow a debate on the contentious issue this week. 

As UPA's outside supporters Samajwadi Party and BSP kept their cards close to their chest, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath said he has got no assurance from the two parties but expressed confidence they will support the ruling alliance. 
Kamal Nath also claimed that the Foreign Exchange Management Act notification dealing with FDI in retail has to be passed by only one House of Parliament, contesting the Opposition stand that the decision cannot be implemented if it falls in Rajya Sabha.
The debate in the Lok Sabha under a rule that entails voting is expected to take place on December 4-5 and later in the Rajya Sabha.
In an interview to private news channel, Kamal Nath stated that he is in talks with everybody.
