In a decision that would appear to flatter the MNS and Shiv Sena that have been agitating against North Indians in Mumbai, the Congress-NCP led Democratic Front government on Monday said it intends stricter implementation of policies that give preference to locals for jobs framed since 1968.
The government announced its decision to come up with state and district level committees for implementation of preference for locals in jobs, a move that political observers here see as a pre-election exercise to woo back the Marathi voters who might be drifting to MNS.
The earlier government resolutions (GR) that would be implemented strictly were issued by Congress governments in 1968, 1970, 1973, 2005 and 2007.

Just a political stunt by congress to steal the show from RAJ. If they would have been serious from the begining then this situation wouldn't have been arived.
And what about those jobs whose base location is Maharashtra but advertised in Bihar and people from Bihar are getting recruited and are systematically migrated?
prashu, tell us those jobs which are in Maharashtra State Govt and still advertised in Bihar!!!
It seems Chanakya don't read Newspapers. The issue was of Railway Jobs, and not Maharashtra State Govt. Jobs.
As far as the posts that are filled by Central Govt. are concerned, there are very few people from Maharashtra. Now don't go into the argument of Maharashtrian don't appear for the Central govt. exams.... you'll find the answer somewhere in older threads for it.
If we indians have our way, we will even ask reservations or "preferences" in Olymics....
Chanakya, If we consider what you say, the mentality of people asking for reservations in Olympics, is similar to those who ask for separate Vidarbha....
Asthipanjar & Chanakya
If that GR was passed in 1968, why wasn't it implemented properly yet. Please Note that it is GR and not a law. So, it cannot be forced on companies for implementation.
with this background, how can somebody believe the decisions taken by congress government? because nothing has happened since 1968 in favor of this GR.
What Raj wanted is a Law. And i think without all those things happened a month ago, government would not have waken up and repeat the GR that was passed in 1968!
Still it is a GR and not a LAW. So nobody should trust it.
meemarathi
This is a stupid law. reservation can only happen in Sate Govt jobs not in Private jobs. Why should private companies be forced to have reservations for locals or whatever. If sucha thing happens, private companies will move to other places.
Don't worry Man, nothing serious will happen, Maharashtra still have good amount of non-recruited workforce. Nobody has skills from Birth, So do Outsiders... Once started getting recruited, Maharashtrians can take over the skilled workers field. And it has been proved in the Peak time of textile mills two decades ago.
Dear Chankya,
I am talking about Railway jobs not Maharashtra State Jobs. Read my blog clearly. It is in simple english. No where I have mentioned that Maharashtra state jobs have advertised in Bihar. I don't know from where u read that...........
meemarathi , railway are centeral jobs and if i know, many local mewspapers have carried the ads, so what are u talking!! It is nonissue created into emotional lie by MNS to win elections. Indians ahev always been fooled by thier politicians in name of caste, religion and now region
Chanakya Saheb,
Please Scan and post one of the Ad ( should have appeared 1 month ago) , so that we also will get a rare chance to see it.
Dear Chankya (or Chaknya????)
Railway jobs have been advertised only in one paper of Mumbai & Nagpure that too last year, rest were in hindi newspaper. And Entire Maharashtra population dose not stay in Mumbai/Nagpure....
Correct Meemarathi, Chankya pls scan and post those ads here. Let us finish this issue for once and all.
Dear Prashu, this is an old argument...of show us the papers....dont repeat it like a broken record

Loksatta Mumbai -- Why Only Mumbai Edition ?
Lokmat Nagpur edition -- Why Only Nagpur Edition ?
Navbharat Times -- Hindi- Circulated in Whole India.
Navbharat -- -- Hindi- Circulated in Whole India? not sure..
Inquilab -- Hindi / Urdu ? - Circulated in Whole India? not sure..
Hindustan Times and Indian Express -- Circulated in Whole India? and How Many People who appear for Gangman's Post read English Newspapers ?
meemarathi , how is my asking separate vidarbha not very different from your posturing over hatred against so called outsiders and regionlism . You are better than me in that respect. You think some indians cant stay in Mharahstra, and I think some Marathis shouldnt stay in Vidarbha.
I never said that separate Vidarbha should be created. I never said that somebody should not stay in Maharashtra. It's you, who are feeling insecure without any reason and making some virtual statements on other's name... The Whole discussion is about SEZ.
If you "Think" that Marathis shouldn't stay in Vidarbha, Then who are you? Aren't you Marathi? Whatever you think, is your choice. Neither we have any concerns over it, nor we feel insecure.
Dear Chankya,
R u nut? U r showing me same thing which I have clearly said in my blog. Read it, it is in simple english.
as per ur link "Marathi dailies which carried the advertisements were Loksatta Mumbai edition and Lokmat Nagpur edition - on November 3, 2007, and February 9, 2008. Dailies in other languages circulated in the state which carried the advertisements were Navbharat Times (November 3, 2007, and February 9, 2008), Navbharat (February 9, 2008), Inquilab (February 9, 2008), the Hindustan Times (February 9, 2008), and the Indian Express (November 3, 2007, and February 9, 2008) - all Mumbai editions."
This is what I am saying loksatta in Mumbai and Lokmat in nagpur. What about rest of maharashtra? And why the rest adv. in non marathi paper?
Just don't waste time in writing crap.........
prashu... I think you should ask railways to send personal notes in marathi to all maharashtrians for jobs. Is that you want!!!.
You think railways ads are given in all punjabi, all vernacular, bihari, bhojpuri newspapers!!!
Anybody looking for job, should read employment news, and see the ads there.
And next time onwards, this portal should do that...and since MNS and Shiv sena and narayan ranne are so much lovers of marathi manoos, they should run ads in thier newspapers like Samana , Prahar etc.... Stop cribbing...about nonsense. Some guys have made a big issue of a thing which could easily be fixed.
This Crap is a brother of Undercover. Can't we have some intelligent discussion.. Every time sobody like undercover or Chanakya appeares and posts Bindok comments.
If you feel that everything should be done by somebody else? What do you do ? Only Typing ?........
meemarathi ...I don typing..and so do you. So dont give me that argument.I feel people should do things and make chnage happen instead of makign a regional issue over it. What stops Samana or a marathi paper from publishing ads if they really feel that much about ut...why why!!
Obviously Bcos nobody from Railways, give them a copy of Ad to print.... next time let us all know when the ad will come out of railways, so that we'll all force samanaa or any marathi paper to print it..
meemarathi, what a poor remark....railway donesnt tell them!!! They can approach railway then!! cant they!! Anyway , they are so powerful, that thier leaders can bring maharashtra to halt by raising thier hands.
In these times of Internet and infoverload, cant they find ads and publish them in marathi newspapers!!
So, you think your comments are Rich.
After the power show by Maharashtra last month, Railway should come on track and will publish the advertisements in Marathi newspapers.
No Railway ads are being published on internet. If they are, give me a link, i'll forward it to concerned people.
Finally, It is railway's responsibility to publish / circulate ads in adequate marathi newspapers ? After all Railway is not being run by SS or MNS, it is being run by RJD.
asking 10th passout to surf net. something seriously wrong with this chap.......
Dear Chankya,
It is not me who thinks ads should be placed in regional newspapers but it is the law itself made mandetory to publish those things in regional as well as national languages.
Do not forget we have adopted languistic state policy. So it is not whether I or u like it or not but one has to respect regional languages.
I have never said Railway should give any personal invitation. I guess u r putting those words which I have never said but U want to hear from me so that u can go on commenting.
But I hardly help. I request u to read my comments carefully and then only reply.
And if u think this issue can be easily fixed then I would like to know what is holding u back from not resolving this issue. Go and just fix it naaaa.
