"If the Centre agrees the state government is ready to get a resolution adopted by the state vidhan sabha seeking division of Uttar Pradesh into three parts - Poorvanchal, districts of western region and the Bundelkhand region," the BSP chief said.
"It is not within the authority of the state government to divide. Only the Centre can do this," she said.
Mayawati's remarks came close on the heels of the demand by Congress to carve out a separate state of Bundelkhand.
A delegation led by Uttar Pradesh state Congress chief Rita Bahuguna-Joshi met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last week and demanded setting up of the Second States Reorganisation Commission for the purpose.
Mayawati said that the BSP had always favoured creation of smaller states. "UP is still too big even after creation of Uttarakhand," she added.
However, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has opposed any further division of the state.
"Smaller states are not viable as is clear from the state of affairs in Jharkhand and Chattisgarh," Yadav said.

Yes the states should be divided into smaller ones... There are huge no. of poor politicians -then they can become rich by looting the state... Laloo.. Maya.. the two poor Janata's representatives.. are two glaring examples from the modern Indian History
Uttar Pradesh government's top brass was out in full force in Lucknow for the birthday celebrations of Chief Minister Mayawati on Tuesday.Boot licking culture and sycophancy at its pick... Typical Hindi belt culture.... No amount of investment or wining vote can change this in near future. Shameless leaders and more shameless bureaucrats.
It is high time that UP gets smaller in size to overcome decades of anarchy.It is not easy to govern a area this vast .There is no developement since the last two decades.
It will be the beginning of further divisions to very small stetes in India.Then so many ministers and somany politicians will be there to enjoy perks and pensions at the cost of a common man.Still common man continues to be a common man.
The smaller the states the better governanceDivide as follows:UP - 3MP -3J
the smaller the state it is better. Actually india can be divided into than 40-50 states.UP => 3 statesMP => 3 statesAP => 2 statesTN => 2 statesMaharashtra => 3 statesWest Bengal => 2 statesJammu
Bigger states should be divided in to smaller states so people can get benefits and states turned in to prosperous states. If India didn't act now the time will come when people of neglected regions would revolt against the government.
