Mumbai, December 01: MNS chief Raj Thackeray today praised Railway Minister Mamata Banrjee for her announcement to conduct railway recruitment examinations in regional languages.
“I congratulate Banerjee on her announcement to conduct railway recruitment exams in regional languages. I would also request her to put out the advertisement of these exams in Marathi newspapers,” Raj, who has often found himself on the wrong side of the law over his ‘sons of the soil’ plank, said at a party rally here.
Criticising the Congress for not taking the decision in the past 61 years, Raj said, “If they had taken it, there would not have been protests for the pride of Marathi language.”
A delegation of MNS leaders would meet Banerjee to formally congratulate her on the decision, Raj said.
