Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar sharply responded to Sanjay Raut’s remarks on the separate Vidarbha demand, making waves in Maharashtra politics. Wadettiwar questioned why anyone should give importance to Raut’s stance, as differences have surfaced within the political alliance over Vidarbha’s separate state issue. He asserted that the Vidarbha region has been neglected in development and resource allocation, especially under the BJP government, and that symbolic statements aren’t enough to address the region’s real problems.

The exchange reflects intensifying debate amid the winter session of the Maharashtra Assembly, where regional sentiments and governance priorities are under scrutiny.
