Laloo had been under attack from the MNS for not giving Maharashtrians preference when vacancies arise in the state. Laloo retaliated by saying people from the state were not qualified enough |
 | | Actor and MP Govinda, who managed to get a commitment from Laloo for ladies’ specials between Borivali and Virar, celebrated his fast-track achievement with some fast food | ‘Maharashtrians not qualified enough for railway jobs,’ says Laloo Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav sparked off a controversy yesterday by claiming that Maharashtrians were not qualified enough to take up jobs in the railways.
After inaugurating the Rs 504.82-crore track quadrupling project between northern suburbs of Borivali and Virar, Yadav referred to the agitation by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) during a railway recruitment exam in Pune.
Yadav said, “The maximum vacancies in railways are created in Maharashtra, but locals here do not educate themselves or gain enough skills to compete for the recruitment tests.” | | | | | |
