    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we passed a Constitution in this country; the Constitution we all moved around saying that it is good for this country. It talks about distribution of resources. Resources are not going to be distributed in this country based on perception. They will be distributed based on facts. You cannot establish facts of any nature by working on perception. You carry out a scientific survey. The result of any scientific survey must be obeyed by hon. Members of this House. We cannot sit here to pass a Motion as the House that will reinforce the perception that has been used in this country. In the past, we got into difficulties because some areas have been politically marginalized. Others have been marginalized because of the vagaries of weather. Others have been marginalized because of other reasons. We have a scientifically done survey. If there is a Member who would want us to rely on his perception, it will be a very sad day for this country. Again, if we allow ourselves to start drifting back to the dark days of getting resources because of who you know and how loud you can talk in this country and the number of people you can mobilize on the Floor to defeat a Motion in this House, then I think it will be a very sad day for us."
