Separate Vidarbha by 2027: Roadmap planned by VRAS The Vidarbha Rajya Andolan Samiti (VRAS) has intensified its campaign for a separate Vidarbha state, announcing a detailed roadmap to achieve statehood by 2027. During its quarterly national meeting in Nagpur, the organization unveiled a series of protests and public outreach initiatives aimed at mobilizing support for the long-standing movement. The plan includes large-scale demonstrations, symbolic acts of protest, and grassroots engagement to pressure the central government to address regional grievances. A key component of the roadmap is the Kranti Din Long March, scheduled for August 9. The march will begin at Deekshabhoomi and conclude at Samvidhan Chowk, serving as a major mobilization effort for supporters of the statehood movement. This event is expected to draw thousands of participants and highlight the demand for administrative and developmental autonomy for Vidarbha. Another significant protest is planned between September 24 and 28, during which copies of the Nagpur Pact will be symbolically burned across districts and talukas in Vidarbha. VRAS leaders emphasized that this act is a protest against what they describe as the continued neglect of the region and the alleged failure to honor the promises made under the pact. The Nagpur Pact, a historical agreement between the central government and Vidarbha leaders, is seen as a cornerstone of the statehood movement, and its symbolic destruction underscores the frustration over unfulfilled commitments. The state-level core committee meeting of VRAS was held at the MLA Hostel in Nagpur, chaired by former MLA Wamanrao Chatap.#vidarbha_rajya_andolan_samiti #wamanrao_chatap #nagpur_pact #kranti_din_long_march #separate_vidarbha_state
