Patna · 1961
1 pages
Summary
This single-page letter, dated June 10, 1961, is written from the Bihar party office in Patna by a signer provisionally identified as Sachchidanand Narain to M. R. Masani. It concerns financial assistance for the Bihar Party and seeks clarification about apparently differing figures: a proposed loan of Rs. 5 lakhs, a previously agreed assistance of Rs. 10 lakhs, and monthly contributions of Rs. 25,000 from May through December 1961.
Key points
- The writer acknowledges support from Rajaji, Prof. Ranga, Sir Homi Mody, and M. R. Masani for enabling the Bihar Party to raise loans.
- The letter questions the meaning and adequacy of the proposed Rs. 5 lakh loan.
- It recalls an agreement at Bombay to provide Bihar with Rs. 10 lakhs in addition to monthly contributions of Rs. 25,000 from May to December 1961.
- The writer asks Masani to clarify the financial position communicated to the Bihar State Working Committee.
- The writer recommends that the State President receive discretion over which constituencies should receive the Centre’s contribution, rather than limiting spending strictly to constituencies endorsed by the Parliamentary Sub-Committee.
