What happened
Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party chief Om Prakash Rajbhar revived the debate over dividing Uttar Pradesh into four parts. Rajbhar claimed Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured him this division could happen after a caste census. Congress leader Imran Masood also backed the division, arguing that the state's large geographical size makes administration and travel difficult.

Why it matters
The demand for state bifurcation revives a long-running political discussion dating back nearly two decades. The proposal suggests creating new states, including Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, and Western Uttar Pradesh. Such a structural change could significantly alter regional investment and resource allocation within India.
Narendra Modi assured Parliament of a caste-based census, a commitment currently facing scrutiny from various governments.
