Srihari Aney

Former Maharashtra Advocate General Srihari Aney, who quit the post recently over his remarks supporting separate statehood for Marathwada, has courted a fresh controversy after photographs emerged of him cutting into four pieces a birthday cake featuring a map of the state.

RSS ideologue MG Vaidya has said that four states can be carved out of Maharashtra for better administrative purposes and suggested formation of a new state reorganisation commission to look into the matter.
