New Delhi, December 10: With the Centre blinking on the issue of formation of Telangana, RLD chief Ajit Singh today decided to revive his demand for Harit Pradesh to be carved out of Uttar Pradesh after the Parliament session.
“Centre’s decision to bring a resolution in Andhra Pradesh assembly on formation of Telangana is a welcome move.
It is a good beginning. I will convene a meeting with like minded groups (those seeking smaller states) after the Parliament session and revive my demand for Harit Pradesh,” the Jat leader told PTI here tonight.
Singh, who has long been seeking formation of Harit Pradesh, to be carved out of parts of western Uttar Pradesh, said that unlike Andhra Pradesh, the situation in UP is different “as there is a general consensus (among votaries of separate Bundelkhand and Poorvanchal) for the state’s reorganisation”.
