Mr. Speaker : Amendment moved : Same as above.
Shri Dwivedi : I beg to move :
In the amendment by Dr. Ambedkar in the proposed new clause 11A, for the proposed Fifth Schedule of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, substitute the following:
“THE FIFTH SCHEDULE
[See sections 27A(2), 27C(a), 27E(1) and 27J(a)]
Number of Members of Electoral Colleges
Number of Name of State Members
1 2
Ajmer 30
Bhopal 30
Bilaspur and Himachal Pradesh 42
Kutch 30.
Manipur 30
Tripura 30
Vindhya Pradesh 60”
In the morning I had a talk with Dr. Ambedkar along with certain other representatives of Part C States and we suggested to him that if a small Electoral College is created there will be difficulty and smaller the electoral college, it is likely to give some cause for corruption. It was therefore suggested that there should be bigger electoral College and this suggestion was accepted by Dr. Ambedkar. Therefore this amendment was proposed by me and others. Sir I move.
Mr. Speaker : Amendment, (of Shri Dwivedi) as mention abover moved:
Dr. Ambedkar : Sir, I accept the amendment.
Mr. Speaker : Are there any other amendments to this particular clause?
