00:00The common budget is about to come and people of Bihar are also expecting it.
00:05From the Bihar Industries Association, a letter has also been sent to the Central Secretary.
00:11With us is the head of the Bihar Industries Association, K.P.S. Kesri.
00:16Mr. Kesri, what kind of demand have you sent from here?
00:21We have sent a long list of 4-5 pages.
00:26Some are related to taxation and some are related to financing.
00:31We have said that we will have to give Rs. 50,000 crores to this Raji for 10 years.
00:39In that, some things like transportation in the Ganga,
00:46which will be done through the river, is the cheapest.
00:52We have a number of national riverways, which is the Ganga.
00:58But we have not been able to run it for years in the Ganga,
01:03because mud accumulates there.
01:05So there is a need to do dredging.
01:07So by dredging it and making it new and cool,
01:10there will also be a need for money for this.
01:12So this is what we have said.
01:14We have said that in the whole country,
01:18like you have made aspirational districts,
01:21similarly, look at the backward industrial districts.
01:25And give them specific funding.
01:28Give them income tax relief.
01:32Or give them a higher rate of investment allowance.
01:36The government has a lot of tools.
01:38Make arrangements for those tools.
01:40If we do that, then we believe that 15-20 districts will be covered in this.
01:46So in Bihar, the industrialization process,
01:49which seems to be moving forward,
01:52we will be able to move forward.
01:54You have asked for Rs. 50,000 crores every year.
01:57Is it for the industries or for the whole of Bihar?
01:59No, no, for the whole of Bihar.
02:00Look, basically it is for infrastructure development.
02:03What is happening is that we are lagging behind.
02:06And we are saying one thing to the government.
02:08Last year, we were physically present there and said this to them.
02:12The regional imbalance,
02:15to remove the regional imbalance,
02:17is the duty of the government.
02:19For example, there is a flood.
02:22Why is there a flood?
02:24The water from Nepal, which is a different country,
02:27flows from a place higher than us.
02:29When the water flows there, it flows between the river Ghat and the water.
02:33If you look at the Kosi region,
02:35in the Kosi river,
02:36the level of the Kosi river,
02:39the bed of the river,
02:41is higher than the ground outside.
02:44So, even if a little water comes,
02:46it overflows or breaks the dam.
02:49It is very fast.
02:50If it flows fast, it breaks it.
02:52How many pages are there?
02:54I think there are 7-8 pages.
02:57What is this?
02:58Look at this.
03:01We have given this.
03:03We have given this.
03:04It is of 7-8 pages.
03:06We have given this to them.
03:14If you look at this,
03:16we have told you.
03:19The most important thing we have said,
03:22is this.
03:24You want to put this.
03:26This is the point.
03:27Why are we asking for 50,000 crores?
03:30The reason why we are asking for 50,000 crores,
03:33is that we want Calcutta to become an industrial corridor.
03:38Our state does not have that much money.
03:41And our land is also expensive.
03:43We want to make an industrial township on that corridor.
03:46The government will also want to make it.
03:48We are giving suggestions.
03:50What is the meaning of an industrial township?
03:52Noida, which you are seeing now, is a city.
03:55It is not a city.
03:56It was imagined as an industrial township.
03:59Dholera, which is an industrial township from Delhi to Bombay,
04:03on that corridor,
04:05is a city of 100 square kilometers.
04:11I hope that,
04:15and we are not asking for grants.
04:19Our suggestion is to give an interest-free loan.
04:22The government has provided this in a few places.
04:26It has been done in tourism.
04:27It has been done for all countries.
04:28The deficit that you have,
04:30the infrastructure deficit,
04:32you buy it,
04:33make it,
04:34and we will give you an interest-free loan for 25 years.
04:38So we are saying that you give 50,000 crores to the state,
04:44and give it in an interest-free loan.
04:46If it is an interest-free loan,
04:47then after 25 years,
04:48you will get it back when our level rises.
04:51Now you will be surprised, but it is right.
04:54If you look at our electricity consumption,
04:58it is above 300.
05:00If we look at the national average,
05:02it is above 1300.
05:04We are at one-fourth of that.
05:06So how will we progress?
05:08If you look at our per capita income,
05:11our per capita income is 60,000 rupees.
05:15If we look at the national level,
05:19it is 184,000 crores.
05:21There is a difference of one third.
05:23I am K.P.S. Kesari,
05:25the President of Bihar Industries Association.
05:28We have received 10 pages of suggestions and demands
05:31from the Central Minister, Sitaraman.
05:34We hope that the 50,000 rupees that we ask for every year,
05:38if Bihar gets it,
05:40it will develop the industrial area in Bihar,
05:43and work on it in many areas.
05:46So that Bihar,
05:47which is lagging behind in many areas,
05:49whether in electricity consumption,
05:51will be able to grow in the industrial area.
