JAI HIND JAI VIDARBHA


Nagpur is .....or was ....one of the most ignored city of the central India It was  once capital of Central zone and number 1 .Today Bhopal and even Raipur are far ahead of Nagpur.
In 1960 When Maharashtra was formed in the independent India Nagpur became part of it and lost its capital status as Bombay was an obvious choice for Capital. Since then Nagpur is ignored systematically and cleverly by all western Maharashtrian politician's and the great sugar lobby. There were many Chief ministers from Vidarbha but they were controlled by lobby and  they were more fascinated by Mumbai. They happily ignored Nagpur and Vidarbha.
As such Vidarbha was; and even today is one of the richest area considering  it's minerals  and forest wealth. For 50 long years almost all the electricity generated here is used by western Maharashtra and still they feel Nagpur has only oranges .The money allotted to Vidarbha area was either diverted to other projects or was not used. In MIHAN project instead of offering subsidized rate for electricity the rates were deliberately kept very high to discourage anyone coming to this area and set up the industries.This was in spite of the fact that Vidarbha generated power with its own resources.
Today people are seeing what is development as two great leaders our CM and the best  Minister in the central  Nitin Gadkari are in full support and action. They are undoubtedly putting their best efforts but they must not forget without separate Vidarbha this area will never develop. This one is stating this because Chhattisgarh was exploited by MP. ,Jharkhand was exploited by Bihar and Haryana was neglected by Punjab before respective separations happened.The status of Uttarakhand was no different.Small states do faster development as there is more focus on the issues.We have example of Haryana which before 1965  was dominated by Punjab.....Today it is at par with Punjab if not better.

One only hopes that whatever development one is observing today is not the  substitute to suppress separate Vidarbha demand and is only the compensation for the sins done in the past by earlier politicians.
Let the Maharashtra and rest of the  world know that Nagpur is not only orange city .......it is now Tiger city as well !

JAI HIND.....JAI  VIDARBHA !
