The issue of separate statehood for Vidarbha rocked the monsoon session of Maharashtra legislature for second consecutive day. After ruckus in both the houses, the Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad were adjourned for the day.
Not only the Opposition Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress but even the ruling ally Shiv Sena demanded the state government to clear its stand.
Wearing saffron caps with "Akhand Maharashtra"(Unified Maharashtra) written on it, Shiv Sena MLAs raised slogans in the lower house.
"Government should make its stand clear. With Shiv Sena also opposing the issue the govt is now in minority. The govt has no right to stay," NCP Leader Dilip Walse-Patil said.
After the pandemonium, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis assured the house that there is no proposal of a separate statehood of Vidarbha. "The Nagpur pact in 1953 spoke about a separate state of Vidarbha. However the BJP and Shiv Sena have their own and clear views about Vidarbha. Opposition is an opportunist and is trying to politicize the issue...the issue of separate Vidarbha is not a state issue and there is no such proposal before the state in that regards."
The issue also witnessed heated scenes in the Upper House of the Maharashtra Legislature. Leader of Opposition Dhananjay Munde alleged that the BJP is trying to break the state of Maharashtra into pieces for their political benefit. Shiv Sena Leader Neelam Gorhe also demanded that the government should bring in a resolution of united Maharashtra in the house. The Council too was adjourned for the day after uproar over the issue.
The issue also resonated outside the assembly. Aditya Thackarey took to the social media over the issue of separate Vidarbha. "A bill on division of Maharashtra by someone who is part of Government both at Centre-State, doubts the capacity of Govts to govern well," he tweeted.
