The Chief Minister is a very tacit politician and strategist. But so was Mr Mulayam Singh when he came to power some years ago.
However the state of the down trodden and the poor masses of UP continues to be struggle with hardly any sign of improvement when countrymen elsewhere in India are basking in the glory of high single digit growth.
It is the size of the state which is to be blamed. No human being is capable of managing almost a country (size of England and population of 3 Euro nations) without the wherewithall of administrative set up.
UP's CM's are continuously embroiled in politics of numbers and deceit. Leaders continue to flog the caste game & push the poor & illetrate masses into further gloom.
And why shd it not. The CM work's overtime to protect its numbers for survival. With hardly any pockets of economic activity favouring the people, it is only dilution of public funds and brow beating the business classes has become the game of UP's politicians.
It is high time the state is further bifurcated into atleast three segments - one as Jatland (present North UP) and other as Bhojpur (to consist parts of East UP and North Bihar) and third one as Bundelkhand (consist of regions of Jhansi and North MP and East Rajasthan)
The current requirment of governance is to manage efficiently and with cost effective means. This is only acheived if the CM can have control over its environs.
Smaller states would entail devolution of resources all through.
