Conception of "Bundelkhand state" is the need of time : Sanjay Pandey

New Delhi: Bundelkhand Akikrit Party demands to re-organize the bigger states of India into comparatively smaller states. With reference to population and area, there is no synchronization among the Indian states. On one side with over twenty crore population is the colossal Uttar Pradesh and on the other side is petite state like Sikkim with a total population of six lakh. Similarly, there is Rajasthan with three and half lakh sq. Km. wide area while Lakshadweep with only 32 sq km area. According to the facts, the rate of growth of small territories is much more than that of large. For example, the annual per capita income in Bihar is just Rs. 3835 while of small states like Himachal Pradesh is Rs. 18750. Not only in economic developments, small states are ahead in education, health developments. For example, in case of education Uttar Pradesh holds 31st place with literacy rate -57% while newly formed state Uttrakahand holds 14th place with literacy rate -72%. According to Sanjay Pandey the convener of Bundelkhand Akikrit Party, , if India has to join the tally of developed countries by 2020 then the reorganization of states and territories is indispensable.
Today Bundelkhand is a region famous for its misery because geographical part lies between two huge states of MP and UP. If Bundelkhand is granted statehood it will be one of the most developed states of country.
According to Pandey, until the regions like Bundhelkand and Vidarbha are much away from the step of developments and facing starvation, envisaging India as a developed nation is meaningless. Same as the body which is claimed as healthy body when all the conception organs of the body are healthy similarly India would be notified as developed when all the regions in its boundary will be developed. Sanjay Pandey said that by developing backward areas like Bundhelkand as states, new dimensions would be set up. Actually formation of separate states will boost the speed of central developments. Bundelkhand, the area with tremendous resources just lags of good administration and declaring it as a new state will bring prosperity to the region. He also claimed that before becoming state, Haryana was called the area of "grass and weed" but today the accomplishments of Haryana as a separate state can be witnessed by the entire country. Today, the per capita income of Haryana is Rs.16200. Pandey said that the conception of large states of India into small states has become very necessary. Giving the example of America, he said that America is united federation of fifty small States and hence its successes can be narrated by whole world. Some people in our country oppose the establishment of small states and believe that this will lead the division of our mother land but their fear is groundless. At the time of independence, there were 14 states in India but now the count is 35, so has the country been ruined? At that time our great INDIA was ONE and still it is ONE and after forming some new small states will also remain ONE.
