Why BJP govt in Rajasthan scrapped 12 new districts Ashok Gehlot had created

India Today  

The BJP government’s decision to abolish 12 of the 20 new Rajasthan districts and all three divisions created by the previous Congress dispensation has gotten mired in political controversy. Rajasthan had 33 districts, and the Gehlot government, on the recommendation of the Ram Lubhaya Committee set up for reorganisation of districts, added 17 new districts besides three divisions. Critics say the Gehlot government’s move was pure populism since even after adding 17 new districts, three more were announced to cater to the continuing demands. Gehlot said that before the creation of the new districts, the average area of each district in Rajasthan was 12,147 sq km and the population roughly 3.54 million.
