Jairam Ramesh advocates bifurcation of Uttar Pradesh

MUMBAI: Asserting that big states cannot be governed well, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Saturday said even if the BJP were to come to power in Uttar Pradesh, it would find the northern state unmanageable. Interestingly, he also said that among the smaller states, Congress-governed Uttarakhand was not “better-governed”, while BJP-ruled Chhattisgarh was. “…the evidence in India is mixed. It’s not a guarantee that small states can be governed. But large states like UP can never be governed,” he said.
