NewsX: Amid talks that a decision on separate Telangana is on the cards, demand for carving out Vidarbha state out of Maharashtra was made by senior Congress leader Vilas Muttemwar.

In a letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi, Muttemwar, MP, said: "now when the Telangana state has been agreed to be carved out of Andhra Pradesh, people of Vidarbha will have genuine resentment if their similar demand for creation of separate Vidarbha state is not (not) simultaneously agreed to."

Muttemwar, a seven-term Lok Sabha member who represents Nagpur, expressed apprehensions that if the demand of the people of Vidarbha is not accepted at this juncture, "they will grievously and genuinely feel neglected and may resort to violent agitations".
