Title: Request to discuss and reconsider the entire recommendations of the Eleventh Finance Commission.
PROF. A.K. PREMAJAM (BADAGARA): Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity.
MR. SPEAKER: Madam, please understand that this matter has already been raised and the Minister replied also about the Eleventh Finance Commission.
PROF. A.K. PREMAJAM : Sir, that day also, I was not allowed to speak on this matter. Today, I want to mention only one point in respect of Eleventh Finance Commission. Yesterday, the Principal and Finance Secretaries of several States, including those of the States ruled by the BJP alliances, came to the Capital, New Delhi. Today, nearly 15 Chief Ministers have come to discuss and decide their modus operandi for future activities.
I would like to bring, through you, this important matter to the attention of the Government. Last time, it was decided that we would be able to discuss this matter in the Parliament. But here, in Lok Sabha, we were not given the opportunity to discuss it. Sir, I request that we may be given the opportunity to discuss this matter and also reconsider the entire recommendations of the Eleventh Finance commission.
