Movement for Independent Vidarbha State Dr. BalKamble Principal, Rayat Shikshan Sanstha's Dada Patil Mahavidyalaya, Karjat. Dist- Ahmednagar (M.S.) Online published on 2 September, 2019. Abstract Due to the formation of ‘Telangana as an independent ’ state in 2014, the movement for the demands of the small states in India was accelerated. The revival of such movement was seen especially in Vidarbha, Maharashtra. In 2016, the senior legist Shrihari Ane had strongly supported the Vidarbha state, but he couldn't get proper support from the people from the Vidarbha region. At the same time, some journalists and writers honestly tried to justify the importance and need of the demand for Vidarbha State. In 2017, Mr. Ashish Deshmukh, an MLA from Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP), has organized student's protest for the demand of the independent Vidarbha, but it also couldn't get the success satisfactorily. Finally, he was fed up of the situation. He resigned from his post of MLA in Oct, 2018 and entered into the Congress Party. In short, it can be said that presently the protest for Vidarbha State has been subsided.
