It is heartening to know that, president of a national party like BJP is planning to support cause of separate Vidarbha openly. It is good for the nation, that BJP is coming out of shadows of Shiv Sena in Maharashtra. This is just correction of an ommission in 2000 by BJP, when they created three states but forgot Vidarbha.
