If smaller states are a ploy to bring political governance closer to the populace, then shouldn’t empowerment of local self-government institutions provide a more permanent answer?</i> That is a bigger picture and certainly is required irrespective of the formation of new states.

So empowering local bodies is not just enough. Indeed empowering local government institutions is highly essential presently and in future to attain what Gandhi’s dream of “Grama Swaraj” it is necessary not to correlate this with the demands of separate states which are purely based on economic and social backwardness due to political neglect. 5.
