Bharuch: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Chaitar Vasava today once again demanded the formation of a separate state for the tribal Bhil people.

Vasava, at a function, announced the formation of the ‘Bhil Pradesh Mukti Morcha’ organization to further strengthen the demand for a separate state for the Bhil tribal community.

He stated that the organization would demand the creation of the 29th state in the country, named ‘Bhil Pradesh.’ He added that his organization would work in the tribal areas of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan to strengthen this demand.

He mentioned that Bhil Pradesh would be the 29th state of the country, and Kevadiya (Statue of Unity fame, Ektanagar in Gujarat) would serve as its capital. Vasava represents Dediapada seat in the State assembly of Gujarat. He was defeated by BJP MP Mansukh Vasava in the last Lok Sabha general election on Bharuch seat. Chaitar was supported by the main opposition Congress party in that election. DeshGujarat
