Is Uttar Pradesh (UP), the most populous state in the country, going to be divided in to 4 separate states? It is the proposal of the Mayavati Government to split UP in to Purvanchal (UP East), Paschim Pradesh (UP West), Bundelkhand (UP South) and Awadh Pradesh (UP Central) according to press reports.

It may enthuse certain other states also to have similar proposal. Already the agitation is continuing for a Telengana State bifurcating A.P.
