Shivpuri: Taking exception to Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati`s demand of carving out
separate Bundelkhand state out of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya
Pradesh, the BJP today said it does not want the state to be
bifurcated again.
"I don`t agree with BSP president Mayawati`s demand,"
state BJP chief Narendra Singh Tomar told reporters here.
"We don`t want Madhya Pradesh to be divided again," he
said, adding that the state had already formed a separate
authority for the development of Bundelkhand.
In 2000, Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh.
On discontent in his party over allotting seats in the
ongoing civic polls in the state, Tomar said BJP is a big
party and wishes of all claimants to fight election can not be
fulfilled.
The discontent among party men who were denied tickets is
natural, he added.
