United States of India

Politicians must discourage unnecessary demands for separate states

Unity in diversity’ has always been a great strength of this nation. But now this diversity is alarmingly manifesting itself in a manner that threatens the unity of the country. There are about 10 bills pending with the Home Ministry currently with demands of separate statesout of existing ones. The list includes demand for a separate Mithilachal from Bihar, Harit Pradesh out of UP, Coorg in Karnataka, Saurashtra from Gujarat, Telengana from Andhra Pradesh and Gorkha Land from West Bengal. The supporters of a separate Bundelkhand want to whittle away districts of Banda, Chitrakoot, Jhansi, Lalitpur, and Sagar from UP and MP; whereas those rooting for Bhojpur intend to break UP, Bihar and Chattisgarh.

Rather than discouraging this alarming trend, the so-called ‘national’ political parties are in fact eager to make political points out of it. The Kutch Rajya Sankalp Samiti; an agitating group that is lobbying endlessly with the government of Gujarat government for the separate state of Kutch, has vowed to support any political party that is willing to precipitate their goal.

SHEILA DIKSHIT, CM, DELHI

“Delhi suffers from multiplicity of authority”

Runner-up in the TSI-C Voter survey, Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit speaks to Khurram Raza

In a nationwide survey conducted by TSI, Narendra Modi has emerged as the best chief minister. Any comments?

No doubt he is a good administrator but I don’t agree the he is the best chief minister. A chief minister should be good in totality. He is kind of an autocrat. What he did to Gujarat, psychologically and sociologically, can’t be forgiven. I am not saying this because I have come second. In my opinion, Nitish Kumar is doing very good work in Bihar. You can’t see it right now but theway he is managing things is amazing.

You have been voted the second best CM. Don’t you think you deserve the first position?

How can I say that? I can’t have a perception. I can’t perceive what others may feel about me. Someday, we will be placed in the third position, someday we will be on the top and who knows, may be even the tenth position.

What is your opinion about governance in Delhi?

Delhi faces a peculiar constraint, that of land. Other states can spread their cities out and we can’t. In spite of that, we have invented ways to grow the city and given it a facelift as well.

There is a view that the government is not as efficient as it was during the first two terms. What you have to say about it?

Basically, efficiency is not a question. The government is working efficiently because it now knows how to get work done smoothly and quickly. Expectations of the people have increased. Apart from this, several key issues directly related to common people like the power situation have been resolved. Another factor is that the government is focussed on the upcoming Commonwealth Games this year.

Questions are being raised over the BRT corridor and CWG projects are running late.
Other states are emulating our BRT project. And all CWG projects are now in place and we will manage well before time.
