BJP-MLA-Ashish-DeshmukhNagpur: The BJP MLA from Katol in Vidarbha, Ashish Deshmukh, expressed disappointment at the Maharashtra governments reply to his letter to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on the issue of a separate Vidarbha state.

The reply, by the governments General Administration Department, stated that Deshmukhs demands had been forwarded to the concerned departments.

Deshmukh had written the letter on December 6 last year asking Fadnavis to pursue efforts to bring about statehood for Vidarbha.

Accusing the government and Fadnavis of ignoring demands for statehood, Deshmukh said the governments reply was an insult to the people of Vidarbha.
