Vidarbha Janata Congress
 |
Vidarbha Janata Congress (Vidarbha Peoples Congress) is a political party in the Indian state of Maharashtra. VJC was launched on 9 September 2002 by a former Member of Parliament Jambuwantrao Dhote.[1] The party was formed to demand statehood for the Vidarbha region separate from Maharashtra.
The party's constitution, was released at Sewagram on 2 October, had a special provision which allowed politicians of all hues to join up without quitting their original parties. After its launch, the VJC held a public rally at Chitnavis Park on 23 January, and took a vow to fight for Vidarbha. A rathyatra was taken out in the region to "awaken" people, followed by a Nagpur-Delhi march.
