Looks like Indian states are having a race to break up before the new year! Right behind AP and Gorkhaland/West Bangal, now Mayawati wants UP State break-up into as many parts as the people want. Which people is she referring to? The one major difference in this UP case is that she may be able to get the proposal passed using her majority power, whereas in AP a majority of ruling Congress MLAs are themselves against the proposal. Btw, smaller states does not mean better states.
