UPA wants more states, may change India map

The UPA Government would like to create new states for administrative reasons and have decided to set up the second State Reorganisation Commission.

The Commission will suggest changing the boundaries of existing states and carving out new ones.

The first State Reorganisation Commission was set up in the 1950s and it was only after that the southern states were created on the basis of linguistic division.

Similarly Gujarat got separated from Maharashtra.

The Second Reorganisation Commission is expected to look at the demand for new states coming from places like Vidharbha, Telengana and the Darjeeling Hills.

There are also suggestions that Uttar Pradesh is too big a province and should be broken up to ensure better governance.
