NAGPUR: Expressing confidence that the proposed Vidarbha bandh on
January 20 for demanding separate Vidarbha state will be successful,
Bharip Bahaujan Mahasangh leader, former MP Prakash Ambedkar today
said it would send a strong message to leadership in Delhi as well.
Responding to reports that the bandh may not get response in areas
dominated by Shiv Sena in western Vidarbha, Ambedkar told newsmen
today that in both Amravati and Buldana, where Sena has some presence,
bandh will be total.
He criticised the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC)
president Manikrao Thakre's stand on separate Vidarbha issue and said
people this time will not succumb to such pressure tactics.
The call for bandh has been given by all parties and no individual is
leading the agitation.It is the people of the region who want separate
Vidarbha, he said.
"After the proposed January 20 bandh, leaders from various political
parties will proceed to Delhi to convince the central leadership over
statehood to Vidarbha before the budget session of Parliament during
which Telenagana issue is likely to be settled", Ambedkar said.
Quoting his grandfather late Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, the father of
Constitution, Ambedkar said, "Babasaheb had favoured creation of five
states within Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh in those days".
