Union territories should be merged with the states because the allocation of fund given to them for plan assistance and various accounts are being misused by corrupt politicians. Take for instance a small UT like Pondicherry. The way tax payers money is being wasted by the corrupt politicians is mind boggling. All this money which is uspposed to be given various welfare schemes are being pocketed by the government officers and politicians. When the government merge the so called union territories to the adjucent states.

agreed. per capita public expenditure is higher in UTS and small states than rest of Bharat.
A look at loans, allocation of the loans and payment of interest and loans from and to World Bank, IMF and their subsidiaries will give the real picture!

Its verry shame on us and our financial status that 18 % of Indian budjet goes for only intrest payment.
