WHY NOT MAKE BOMBAY A SEPARATE STATE?
by MGR Fan on Jan 09, 2008 09:28 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

BOMBAY City with 25 Million people will be India's Answer to HongKong and London (not now, but in another 20-30 years)

Maharashtra is a big state and it can easily have Bombay as Union territory. Tamils have TamilNadu (state) and Pondicherry (Union Territory), likewise Marathi people can have both. Why Not?

Why can't MUMBAI City with whatever population being Maharashtra's capital won't be India's answer to Hong Kong and London? By the way, why can't you guys be original for a change? Why do we need to be an "answer" to someone? Why can't we become someone ourselves?

MUMBAI belong to Maharashtra and is capital of it. Period.

Every state creation leads to..
resource roblems
water disputes
more regional parties with no real development agenda
wastage of central funds
costly elections affair
money to run government
more leaders..more corruption
eventually state bankruptancy

Every now and then cheap polititians like KCR,Pawar,Mayawati comes up with bifurcation of states to cover up their failures and state that being united is the root cause of apathy.Central govt. really need to focus and set an agenda for every state to improve the situation in backward districts or regions .automatically the sentiment towards seperation would die down if people start seeing difference.

more number of states . more troubles.period.

So the real issue here is Partitioning Mumbai from Maharashtra then? No wonder!
