Nagpur:
Maharashtra BJP president Devendra Phadanvis, along with other leaders will meet the party's top brass in Delhi on Tuesday to discuss the issue of a separate Vidarbha state.
"We have decided to call on our party leaders in Delhi tomorrow and insist on combining the Vidarbha statehood issue with that of Telangana by moving an amendment in bill for separate states," Mr Phadanvis said.
"We are seeking appointment with party leaders who are already in the national capital for the Monsoon Session of the Parliament, including party chief Rajnath Singh, senior BJP leader LK Advani, Gopinath Munde and Sushma Swaraj among others," he added.
BJP's alliance partner Shiv Sena is against the formation of Vidarbha but Mr Phadanvis has already wrested this initiative.
The party in its national executive committee meet in Bhubhaneshwar in 1992 had passed a resolution for creation of separate Vidarbha.
