During the Kargil war, the unit was under suspension of work, that is, lockout. The then Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee made a request to the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Jyoti Babu, and said that we badly need tyres for our Air Force. Then, we had requested the starving workers that let the Company be opened and requested them to collaborate and cooperate so that the Defence people and Air Force people could take out the tyres which were very much needed for Kargil war. The starving had cooperated with tears in their eyes, and they had welcomed the Air Force Officers who had gone there to take those tyres. We had written to the Government to do something for these starving workers. Dunlop India Limited had an excellent infrastructure, which used to produce several items. Till now, this Company is under suspension of work. A new promoter has come, he is not making even the due payment to the workers and the workers are starving. I have given only one example as to how job creation can be done in several days. The Government must spend money for creating infrastructure and also on social sector. It is true that there are 37 infrastructure projects. I know but you are emphasizing on the PPP model. What is the PPP model? How has it come? What is the history? What is the genesis? The private sector people are day in and day out saying that they need more liquidity, more credit, more cut in the lending rate. They will be collaborating. Nowhere has it happened. Simple Keynesian philosophy which saved the world after the post Great Depression was the Government's usual spending philosophy. Do not care about the fiscal deficit. This is no time for fiscal fundamentalism. Even in America, whose model we are trying to pursue, George Bush.
