Lucknow: Taking a cue from the Telangana statehood announcement, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati has reiterated her demand of dividing Uttar Pradesh into four smaller states. Welcoming Telangana, Mayawati on Wednesday said, "We welcome this decision of making Telangana, the BSP always advocates smaller states and governance units."

Reiterating her demand for dividing Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati said that the Centre should take a decision on it soon. "It's been a long time since the BSP government sent a proposal to divide UP into four states. BSP demands that the Central government takes a decision on state reorganisation and forms four smaller states - Purvanchal (Eastern UP), Harit Pradesh (Western UP), Bundelkhand and Awadh Pradesh (Central UP)," Mayawati said.

She also urged the MPs from Uttar Pradesh to put pressure on the government to take a prompt decision on the state's division.
