If we study the accomplishments of the plan and the resources that it has been possible to raise, we cannot deny that our expectations have not been fulfilled and we have therefore to find out the reasons which have led to that situation. Here, incidentally I would like to touch, in a sentence or two, the entire theme of the speech of Mr. Bhupesh Gupta. It is very easy to say, this should be done or this could have been done from the opposition point of view, but I would like to ask him a question and he can reply to it later in some other speech whether in Russia it would be possible for anybody not in the debate in the parliament, but even outside, to utter a single sentence against the government policy. In our democratic set-up would be conducive to create the enthusiasm that is necessary and the inspiration that is necessary to give their very best to fulfil the targets of the plan. This planned economy is really not a thing that will go successfully hand in hand with a democratic set-up unless some other things are there, and they are the inculcation of a national spirit, giving of proper national. Unless these things are done as they are in other countries like England, unless that type of spirit is created in the country by all the people of all types of views not being allowed to create diferences and doubts in the minds of the people, we cannot, in a democratic set-up, have the success which we want and we cannot fulfill our promises to the people. Without going further into that aspect which really came to my mind as a result of the long speech of Mr. Bhupesh Gupta, I would like to make a few suggestions so that a proper attitude towards giving of one's best to the plan and to raise the national that. He is fully aware of what politics used to be in the British period. If the limit prescribed in the rules is to have no meaning or if it is to be such a character as not to limit the maximum expenditure that can be incurred in connection with the election, it is obvious that the wealthy will always stand a better chance in a contest than a meritorious candidate who is poor. But that feature has not been touched. I should like to deal with two or three new provisions that are sought to be introduced in the act by this bill. I find that the draft is not as clear as was the second plan. The planning commission was appointed after the constitution had been framed. The constitution had given certain directive principles and it was expected that the planning commission would come out with a plan for the implementation of those principles. I can give only one illustration.
