"This is Mayawati's political stunt. Such action without taking into confidence all the political parties in UP is wrong. We will oppose the move," said Samajwadi Party leader Mohan Singh.
UP Cabinet on Tuesday decided to make a proposal of reorganizing UP into 4 new states and send the proposal to the central government for approval, saying division will enable better administration.
BJP leader Balbir Punj said, "Mayawati's move is highly opportunist move and politically motivated.
She should have first got the resolution passed in the UP assembly. Mayawati has not taken the mandate of the people before proposing division of state into 4 parts. This needs an academic exercise before making such a proposal."
Congress leader Jagdambika Pal also said that it's a political move.
"Why has she written a letter to PM and not moved a resolution in the house. If a resolution is not passed in the state assembly and then sent to the central government, it cannot act on this," she said.
Another Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said, "We will take a call on supporting the resolution in the state assembly after consulting our state leaders. Congress party has already said that there should be a second State Reorganisation Committee to look into the demand of small states."
