Four of India's first fourteen Prime Ministers (Jawaharlal Nehru, Gulzarilal Nanda, Indira Gandhi, Charan Singh, VP Singh, Chandra Shekhar - though some were interim) were from Uttar Pradesh, making it the most represented state. This reflects UP's political dominance in early Indian politics. The other states listed had fewer prime ministers during this period.
