 Amongst its first tasks, the AAP initiated a corruption response mechanism in a "''durbar''";{{citation needed|date=January 2014}} it also retracted the [[Foreign direct investment#India|FDI]] in multi-brand retail that the previous government had sanctioned. Kejriwal said that though this would give consumers more options it has been shown that it "leads to loss of jobs to a very large extent. There is huge unemployment in Delhi and the AAP government does not wish to increase this unemployment.
