Harit Pradesh
There is a demand to carve out separate state of Harit Pradesh out of Uttar Pradesh. Harit Pradesh would comprise parts of Western Uttar Pradesh. The proposed state would include 22 districts in Six divisions – Meerut, Saharanpur, Moradabad, Bareilly, Agra and Aligarh. Cultural and economical differences between Eastern and Western part of Uttar Pradesh are the main reason behind the demand of Harit Pradesh. At the village level, some commentators have observed that Western Uttar Pradesh resembles Haryana and Rajasthan more than it does Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
The most prominent current-day advocate for the creation of the new state is Ajit Singh, the leader of the Rashtriya Lok Dal party. Mayawati also supported the formation of Harit Pradesh in December 2009.
