i concur completely..but the situation of UP today is due to a chain of events which started in mid 80's..the government(congress and than BJP's) inability to support to progress of the state and instead divulging in the fullfilment of there own vendetta's menifested negitively on the state..within a decade the industries were dying for example (cotton textile in Kanpur which got reduced from 14 mills to just one ) the result were frequent strikes,shutdowns resulting in people getting unemployed and increase in crime rate,once this happened..the other states were booming (Maharashtra,Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh)now the upper middle class in a frenzy decided to persue there education and career in a more peaceful state with a better economy reducing the educated population of the state to half..these people dont vote in UP and they dont vote for the state where they are living..therefore almost 40percent of the states population doesnt practices there most important fundamental rights..the outcome is the government that comes into the power by dividing people on the basis of cast creed and religion, and capitalising on the ignorance of people..which ever government comes the condition of UP wont change because any government will not prefer people getting educated and choosing for them selves responsibily ..because if that happens,for sure ,nobody will be choosing there government..on the brighter side, you can see the youth of Uttar Pradesh gradually drifting away from polit
