Perhaps, all of you are aware that the gloabl meltdown did not affect the Indian economy because our economy is rural-based. Hence, it has nothing to do with the economic experts. Our agriculturists and farmers toil very hard on their own without any scientific support or otherwise, but they still show us our food security. These are the things that we have come across. Now, I would like to mention a very sensitive issue. I come for a part of a country, which is a  border-area. We have got so many border-areas rather they are quite challenged and disturbing areas, which do not have enough revenue resources. Therefore, they actually live on the grants given by the Central Government, and whatever money is given by the Central Government is huge. Let me also mention that those rich States after getting their plan money, share the money with our developments. Once the development money reaches the States, then we have to look into the particular fact that the money is properly utilised. This point is very important. Therefore, we require peace in those areas for this purpose and in many of these border-areas which they call disturbed areas like Manipur, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir. They are special category States where we have got many problems. Therefore, I urge upon the Union Government, particularly, the Ministry of Home and the Ministry of Finance to be more liberal in dealing with these States in terms of financial help. At the same time, they have to help to look into tackling the problems faced by these States in a holistic manner, so that the recent happenings in Manipur do not recur. Now, Imphal is under full curfew because of this murder. In this context, I would like to request the Union Government to kindly help the State Government to come out of these difficultries so that these killings of innocent people, without any reason, should not recur in the future. With these few words, I support the Interim Budget and wish that the UPA Government comes back to power in the next election.
