Patna,(BiharTimes): A day after chief minister Nitish Kumar declared his support for smaller states, RJD chief Lalu Yadav and LJP president, Ram Vilas Paswan, also backed the demand for smaller states in the country.
Lalu said that his party always stood for the smaller states, as it is easy to manage and administer them. Curiously, Lalu was initially dead against the bifurcation of Bihar.

Paswan, on the other hand, said that the Socialists always stood for the smaller states and said that he personally went a couple of times to Andhra Pradesh to lend support to the cause of Telengana raised by Chandrashekar Rao.
Meanwhile, the chief minister Nitish Kumar on Friday once again called for the division of bigger states such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh etc. He said that like the bifurcation of Bihar bigger states too should be partitioned.
There is near unanimity among these leaders of Bihar for the demand of the constitution of second States’ Reorganization Commission. The first SRC was constituted in the mid-1950s under the chairmanship of Justice Fazal Ali.

comments...
Those who are in favor of making small states, i.e. breaking India into as many states as possible, are politically motivated. They want to increase the seats for Chief Ministers and Ministers. Increase of states will be a bad sign in future that may lead to disability of the country. Those who could not do well for the state as Chief Minister how they claim that they will be do better for smaller state.
Most of the people in Parliament see India from their state view points as they belong to one of the sates. They don’t see their states in the perspective of India. It is very dangerous to see India from the angel of state.
