Demand for separate state continues to be the focus of several political organizations, some of these valid or invalid demanded state are: Mithilanchal in Bihar, Saurashtra in Gujarat, Coorg in Karnataka. A senior home ministry official said the demands were mostly received from voluble organisations like Telangana Rashtra Samiti and Gorkha Janmukti Morcha and some other outfits and individuals. “Some political groups are more agitational in their demands. These include demands for Harit Pradesh carved out of UP, Telangana and Gorkhaland,” the official said.
The most vocal organisation TRS had first raised its demand for creation of Telangana state in Andhra Pradesh a few years back while the GJM has been putting pressure to carve out Gorkhaland out of Darjeeling and its adjoining areas in West Bengal. The demand for creation of Bundelkhand, comprising districts like Banda, Chitrakoot, Jhansi, Lalitpur, Sagar of UP and MP, have been pending for long with the ministry, the official said. He added that while no state government had given any recommendation, which is mandatory for carving out a new state, the demands continue to pour in. A demand for creation of Bhojpur comprising areas of eastern UP, Bihar and Chhattisgarh has also been received by the ministry.
