This Chamber considers the constructive associations of the business community with the formulation of our Governmental policies both at the Centre and in the provinces necessary and desirable. It holds that the experience of the businessman also must flow into the common brain pool from which our policies emanate and hence emphasises their adequate representation in the Upper Chamber both at the Centre and in the Province. A country where public opinion is ill-formed, gradualness must be the keynote of our political practice and representation to the business community would, while imparting a practical tone to the idealistic deliberations of legislatures elected on the basis of adult franchise, in no way stand in the t fulfilment of the will of the people. This aspect should be borne in mind by the Constituent Assembly and the various Delimitation g[unclear] Committees at the time of allocation of seats under the New Constitution. In respect of the province of Bihar at least three seats in the Upper Chamber should be allotted to this Chamber of Commerce which is the oldest and the most representative organisation of the Province.
