· India · Zee News, Indian Express
Om Prakash Rajbhar has proposed dividing Uttar Pradesh into four distinct states, claiming the move would improve regional governance. The Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party leader further asserted that his son would be appointed as the first Chief Minister of the proposed Purvanchal state. Beyond the administrative restructuring, Rajbhar called for a revision of the 27% Other Backward Classes quota. He argued that a caste census is necessary to determine the equitable distribution of reservation benefits across the state. The proposal follows his ongoing advocacy for specific regional representation within the current political framework.
Why it matters
The proposal directly impacts the political landscape of Uttar Pradesh and the potential restructuring of India's most populous state. It also signals a push for significant changes to reservation policies that affect millions of OBC citizens.
