Shri Deshbandhu Gupta: I want to say a few words.
Dr. Ambedkar: You have got four seats all right.

Shri J. B. Kapoor: Does the hon. Member claim to be the sole representative of the U.P. both of Government and the people ?
Shri Gautam : I know the mind of the Government and I am in a position to say that I know the mind of the people. I can claim that I represent the Congress organisation as a General Secretary and I can say that I do represent some people, at least, him.
