Raj Thackeray flays quota row, seeks ‘100 pc jobs for locals’ in Maharashtra

Eyeing the upcoming state Assembly elections, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray slammed the ongoing caste controversy while demanding jobs for all the locals in the state. Reviving the MNS’ old ‘sons-of-the-soil’ plank, Thackeray said, “Is there any reservation in private educational institutions? People from all over India come here, get education and jobs... But, what about the same opportunities being denied to the locals.”
