Lucknow, Dec 11 (Inditop.com) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati Friday said she is for creation of independent states of Bundelkhand and Harit Pradesh out of an “unmanageable 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,” Mayawati told a hurriedly convened press conference here Friday evening.
She said her move follows the central government’s nod for carving the state of Telangana in Andhra Pradesh.
She said: “I was always in favour of smaller states as they are much simpler to govern.”
