MR. SPEAKER: Please take your seats.

>THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS, MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION (SHRI RAM NAIK): Sir, three or four important issues have been raised during the discussion. The first important point which has been raised is that there should be a committee of this House to supervise the implementation of the Scheme. Sir, it is your domain. As it has been done in the Rajya Sabha, if you feel that such a Committee should be there in this House, Sir, we have no objection. We would welcome any such committee which you would decide to constitute.

MR. SPEAKER: Both, Shri Khurana and you are shifting everything to the Speaker.

SHRI RAM NAIK: Sir, it is about the committee. ....(Interruptions)

MR. SPEAKER: Please take your seat. This is an important subject.

SHRI RAM NAIK: The second point is about increasing the annual amount under the Scheme from rupees one crore to rupees two crore. Sir, you are aware that the meeting was held in your office, with all leaders. The Finance Minister and the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs were also there. It was agreed there by all leaders. Similarly, it has been agreed in Rajya Sabha also. Now, the Cabinet is actively considering this issue of increasing the amount from rupees one crore to rupees two crore. ....(Interruptions)

MR. SPEAKER: He is giving proper reply. Let him complete.

SHRI RAM NAIK: So far as the other aspect of interest accrued which is raised by some Members is concerned, in the meetings of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on that point, it has been decided that whatever interest is accrued, it can be used for the same purpose for which the guidelines indicate. That means, we can use the amount of interest accrued for that purpose. This is also the point on which the Cabinet has to take a decision.

SHRI RAM NAIK: Sir, Sushri Mamataji is very right when she says that her MPLAD schemes are not being implemented properly. I have examined practically all the States. As I had gone to Bihar earlier to take stock of the situation, I have taken stock of the situation so far as West Bengal is concerned. I have seen that in Calcutta city, amounts are not being spent. In Calcutta, the Municipal Commissioner of Calcutta is the implementing authority. We have written to them that they should give us a report as to why the scheme is being delayed in implementation. I am expecting the report. I had a discussion with Shri Basu Deb Acharia also. I will be going personally to West Bengal and I will ensure that their work is not suffered. श्री शैलेन्द्र कुमार : माननीय मंत्री जी, उत्तर प्रदेश के बारे में बताइए। ... (व्यवधान)
