Carving out state after state is not going to solve the problems of the people in any significant way. From the administrative point of view small states does have an edge but as in the recent case of new states all the policies and agenda has been hijacked by a nexus of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats who are the main beneficiaries with no substantial improvement in the living conditions of the people.
The Centre is also to be blamed to meekly surrendering to fasting politicians. If tomorrow fasting politicians from nine more regions demand separate, what will the Centre do? Certainly Centre has set up a dangerous precedent and as the era of coalition politics gets more solid roots in our polity we will witness more demands of statehood and hatred as in the case of Maharashtra.
