Recent decision of Maya to go for the resolution to have quadratic division of U.P. sounds quite queer as it is aimed to open vistas of developmental avenues for the present state. Now the crux of the matter is whether this move is political pragmatism or a congenial viable action to ensure better governance and diffusion of power.
Taking into account volatile paradigm of complex U.P. politics it seems that Maya is shrewd enough to play this divisive game for ensuring her perennial popularity and saving the government simultaneously that is starved of any accountability and is ridden with scores of scams. She seems to play with peoples sentiment by egging on their regional, cultural and factional instincts. It can be safely averred that she is least bothered for ensuring steady development of the state and is more inclined to save her own throne. Being intimidated and battered by resurgence of congress under new incarnate of Young Turk, Rahul Gandhi and belligerent samajvadi party she is left with no option but to show her indulgence with this game as a last arrow in her quiver to salvage her scandal scarred image and dwindling popularity. It appears that she has donned that chameleon skin which changes its texture and hue as contingencies arises. She is not a political ideologue of that stature who will have jittery moments while bidding adieu her political ethics. Same Maya in her best of roaring popularity could never have even thought of this game in her wildest dreams.
For her to be grooved in power, preponderates over all factors that is why she is even content to hold helm of affairs even in one proposed divided part of U.P. in aftermath of ensuing state election.
As far as subjects of this state are concerned they will have their own adversities and tremors as division will lead to spiraling of prices and will make commoners life more traumatic. It will further usher in an era of splurging of money that would be needed by respective elected government of divided state to set up their own legislative, judicial and bureaucratic infrastructure. Sky rocketing prices of property and eatable items will become norm of the day where commoners and destitute would be further marginalized and would be exposed to worst kind of paupery.
U.P. has already been divided earlier that led to carving out of a new state full of mountainous terrain christened as Uttarakhand. It was only that segment which was the remotest and had least accessibility. It was an action that was the need of the hour as that part could have not ensured its sustained development if it could not have been ceded from parent state, U.P. Ideally U.P. should have gone for bilateral division where a new state of Bundelkhand was the only need thanks to its all together different topological conditions. Dividing plains of U.P. just for settling one’s political score with rivals is deeply dipped in sordid politics and augers ill for our national integration and sovereignty. Same move and such divisive policy will jeopardize umpteen of our provincial states which may step in footsteps of Maya to stop anti- incumbency factor.
May Maya be sanitized enough to halt this divisive policy in national interest as at present our country is embattling with mercenary and expansionist foreign powers!
