MNS chief Raj Thackeray today sought&nbsp;Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' resignation for&nbsp;favouring formation of a separate Vidarbha state.&nbsp;
"Fadnavis has supported separate Vidarbha and&nbsp;mentioned so in his Facebook post of 2013," Raj told reporters in Mumbai.
"A person who espouses the cause of splitting&nbsp;Maharashtra, while simultaneously being its CM, has no right&nbsp;to continue in that post and should quit," Raj said.&nbsp;

"The separate Vidarbha movement has the backing of BJP&nbsp;and RSS," he alleged.
Maharashtra's former Advocate General Shrihari Aney&nbsp;who has supported a separate state of Vidarbha, has been&nbsp;propped up by BJP and RSS, Raj said.&nbsp;
No national party has any empathy for the states, the&nbsp;MNS chief said.
Raj also flayed Shiv Sena, from which he split up in&nbsp;2005, for "being in the ruling alliance with BJP and also&nbsp;acting like an opposition party at the same time."&nbsp;
