A minister has claimed that Uttar Pradesh will be divided into four states, with Purvanchal becoming a separate state and a Rajbhar chief minister. The claim has not yet been confirmed by the government.
A minister has asserted that Uttar Pradesh will be split into four distinct states, with the eastern region of Purvanchal emerging as a separate entity. According to the claim, the new state would be headed by a chief minister from the Rajbhar community.
The statement was reported by The Indian Express and has not been corroborated by any official government source. No formal announcement or policy document outlining such a reorganization has been released to date.
Political analysts note that state bifurcation proposals have been discussed in the past, but any move would require extensive legislative and administrative procedures. The minister’s claim has sparked debate among political observers and local leaders, though concrete steps toward implementation remain unclear.
Until an official declaration is made, the proposal remains speculative. Stakeholders across Uttar Pradesh are monitoring the situation closely as the political landscape evolves.
