    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for adding me one more minute. I urge that prerequisite legislation needs to be passed so that we have fairness across the board. When you come here, the person who is in the constituency does not understand the difference between the person who is elected and the one nominated. You are disadvantaged in terms of the nomination process because sometimes there is violence and stuff like that. Even when you come to the House, you are disadvantaged again because of procedural issues. Let us have the political space fairer for all competitors so that people who would have never made it to this House can easily make it through election. This is so that even in terms of your contribution, it is felt by all. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even the Houses of Parliament need different skills. You will notice that most Houses have people who are lawyers or political scientists. However, in a House like this, people need different skills like economists, financial experts, accountants and medical doctors, so that they can bring different thinking and skills. This is so that at least we enhance each other’s decisions."
