Large Swathes of territory

Recently our PM Modi has remarked with sadness about how people and non-state elements hold "large swathes of territory" and indulge in violent acts.
I will say what is RSS. The leader of the party of BJP, the RSS also hold swathes over large portion of territory. Let us try to do an analysis.
Below are the 29 states of India along with the area:

State Area (sq kms)
Uttar Pradesh 2,40,928
Maharashtra 3,07,713
Bihar 94,163
West Bengal 88,752
Madhya Pradesh 3,08,245
Tamil Nadu 1,30,058
Rajasthan 3,42,239
Karnataka 1,91,791
Gujarat 1,96,024
Andhra Pradesh 1,60,205
Odisha 1,55,707
Telangana 1,14,840
Kerala 38,863
Jharkhand 79,714
Assam 78,438
Punjab 50,362
Chhattisgarh 1,35,191
Haryana 44,212
Jammu and Kashmir 2,22,236
Uttarakhand 53,483
Himachal Pradesh 55,673
Tripura 10,486
Meghalaya 22,429
Manipur 22,327
Nagaland 16,579
Goa 3,702
Arunachal Pradesh 83,743
Mizoram 21,081
Sikkim 7,096
Total Area        32,76,280

BJP (&RSS) is in power in the following mentioned states and let us for one second forget the states where BJP ally is in power.

States (in alphabetical order) Area (sq kms)
Chhattisgarh 1,35,191
Goa 3,702
Gujarat 1,96,024
Haryana 44,212
Jharkhand 79,714
Madhya Pradesh 3,08,245
Maharashtra 3,07,713
Rajasthan 3,42,239
Thus BJP-RSS combine is in control of area 1.4 million square kms out of almost 3.2 million square kms of India. And let it be remembered that it is a contiguous land area. Almost 50% of India it can be said.
Now that is "large swathe of territory" to put it in PM words where the BJP and RSS virtually have a "free hand" and can do whatever they want. What about it?
