The textile policy can be judged from three or four points of view, and it has proved successful from those angles. There has been an increase in overall cloth production, there is an increase in per capita availability of cloth, there is a great increase in exports, and the rate of increase in the price of cloth has been minimal. Compared to the general rise in the cost of living, it is very little-just 2 percent as against more than eight percent-which means the common man is benefited. He is getting more cloth at a very reasonable price compared to other consumer goods and other things that are available to him. So, while the difficulties that have been mentioned are real, I would like to say that the policy has by and large succeeded in its aim and has proved quite satisfactory. Therefore, to review it in a manner that would satisfy everybody is just not possible. But, as we go along, we are trying to modulate this policy and implement this policy in a way in which we can give as much satisfaction to a sector which needs attention at a particular time. So, there is no question of this policy having been framed on account of pressures from the mill sector or the capitalists in the mill sector, as has been said, because they have suffered the most. Broadly, there are three sectors of the industry-the unorganized handloom sector, the unorganized powerloom sector and the organised will sector. Madam, you would have observed from the speeches made here that there are some inherent contradictions in the because of this obvious contradication, there is a demand all over this the textile policy has failed and therefore it should be reviewed. Madam, the textile policy was meant basically to reconcile the varying. Finance Minister that exceptional efforts for resources mobilization have to be made in view of the critical situation. This ticketless travelling has assumed a very large proportion. In answer to a question in this hon. House, it was suggested that the detected cases ran into some lakhs and undetected cases were bound to be perhaps much larger than those that have been detected. About the electoral reforms, the government is also more serious. We have been making a lot of efforts. My humble suggestion for broad gauge line to be considered in the tenth five year plan is from Bulsar in Gujarat to Nasik in Maharashtra. This will help in the development of the tribal belt in both the states and will provide many opportunities to the people of the area. This is a very long pending demand with the central government. I hope the hon. Minister would think in this direction and satisfy both the states.
