The News Minute | November 4, 2014 | 17.38 am ISTAt meet-the-press programme held at Nagpur on Monday, newly elected Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis said that a separate state of Vidarbha would be carved out at the appropriate time.“My party [the BJP] principally stands in favour of smaller States. But the Centre will decide when to carve out a separate State. It will be done at an appropriate time. But we want to do it amicably and not like Telangana,” he added.According The Hindu, Fadnavis had vociferously supported the formation of new state in the past and has now assured that all issues concerning Vidarbha would be resolved methodically. Responding to a query on the Belagavi border row and the name changing issue, he said, “Karnataka has been more pro-active over the Belagavi issue. But we don’t agree with the change of name of Belgaum [to Belagavi]. It is wrong.”
