Mayawati Seeks Three States of UP
Perhaps Andhra Pradesh splitting into two states is acting as a catalyst to haste the formation of smaller states. For Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister has written to the Prime Minister of India to consider the trifurcation of Uttar Pradesh. She has requested Dr. Manmohan Singh to let the rise of independent states of Bundelkhand and Harit take place.
This decision has been taken to tame the “Unmanageable” state of Uttar Pradesh. “I have written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urging him to give us clearance for creating independent states of Budelkhand and Harit Pradesh out of a giant-sized and unmanageable Uttar Pradesh.”
Talking about the move, Mayawati told at a press conference that she was always in favour of smaller states as they are more organized and manageable. “Since the centre has already given its nod for carving out the state of Telangana out of Andhra Pradesh, there was good enough reason to follow the same exercise in case of UP, where the demand for an independent Bundelkhand in southern UP and a Harit Pradesh in western UP was being raised for a long time,” she said.
She emphasized that “these views have been expressed by me on several occasions in the past as well.” Addind a triumphant note to the discussion, Mayawati said, “In the past too, on March 15, 2008, I had sent a letter to the prime minister, urging him to consider the demand of the people of Bundelkhand and of western UP for giving them independent statehood.” She argued further, “Still earlier on October 8, 2007, I had expressed these view at a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) rally in Lucknow.”
She has urged agitated protestors “not to indulge in any activity that is likely to disturb law and order in the state.” and has assured to “extend full support to the popular demand of the people”.
