Mumbai, November 14: Continuing its agitation for the ‘sons of the soil’ cause, Raj Thackeray-led MNS has written a letter to State Bank of India (SBI) to give priority to locals while recruiting.
“We have written a letter to SBI administration demanding consideration of locals on priority for 1100 clerical posts announced by them,” MNS General Secretary Shirish Parkar told PTI.
SBI is holding an entrance exam tomorrow in the city and the administration has assured the MNS to speak to the authorities in Delhi regarding their demand, he claimed.
“About 1.5 lakh applications were received by SBI and 70 per cent are outsiders. The posts are local and Marathi people should get priority for that,” Parkar said.
