It has given two chief ministers: Vasantrao Naik and his nephew Sudhakarrao but there is no political leader who holds sway over the entire region. The last one to do so was Vidarbha ka sher Jambuwantrao Dhote. He could attract crowds of lakhs, but that was over three decades ago.

Banwarilal Purohit was once a hit among the masses, especially after he quit the Congress in on the Ayodhya issue. However, he lost credibility when he quit the BJP and returned to the Congress in , only to quit again last year on the issue of Vidarbha's statehood.

Former state Congress chief Ranjit Deshmukh raises the statehood issue now and then, but does little else. The BJP's Nitin Gadkari emerged as a leader of some influence in recent years, especially after he claimed credit for improving the road network in the region.

Besides coal, minerals and mining, education is considered the biggest money-making business. Several private educational institutions, especially those of higher education, have mushroomed in the region. Every leader of some repute operates one or several colleges. Industrialists and businessmen who fund party activities usually prefer to stay in the background.

Some make contributions to all parties. At the time of elections, it is common for parties to collect money for a purse to be presented to prominent leaders amid much fanfare.

The leader then returns the money to the local party unit for its activities. Although it has had its share of problems, Vidarbha has been mostly free of communal trouble. It has stayed calm, except for a few minor incidents, even during the worst crises that the country has faced, for example the riots in the wake of Indira Gandhi's assassination and in in the aftermath of the Babri Masjid demolition.
