Ridiculous to put such conditions. The job can be given only to the one fit for it. Stop using The term 'Locals'. Leaders like Pawar should tell locals to get educated & be fit for the kind of job they wish to have OR Pawar should start business like Piaggio in Baramati with locals only given the job. Do you have that confidence Mr. Pawar?

We all are Sons of this soil. Pl understand, to grow we need to hire talent appropriate for the job.
Sons of Soil are the illiterate persons who are related to local politicians and must be hired at very high salary, minimum work and maximum paid holidays. As long as this is not done to local politicins' satisfaction, this demand will not stop. Statistics of any kind are useless as Mr. Chopra will soon find out.
First - these politicians snatched industrial set ups originally envisaged to be in other places in Maharshtra to Pune, Thane, Mumbai, Nashik belt (& may be some in Nagpur) and now demanding jobs for restricted locals (in this case specifically for ppl from Baramati). Mind you he is categorical about locals. He claims to be leader of Maharashtra while cares only for Baramati. Unfortunate...!

right said kab kahn as nearly 50 percent industries in thane nasik are sick and the owners of industries return the plots to Govt as they can not even pay the rent of the land such poor is the status of industry in rest of maharashtra only certain VVIP MIDCs like BARAMATI get special attention due to powerful leaders!
That Mr SP can feed the whole country for the whole year and still have enough to do the same for a number of years. The comment was acknowledged and accepted fully by the people present there who were industrialists, professionals and well educated citizens.
One wonders why this innocuous demand should raise eyebrows only in Maharashtra. However, had Pawar insisted on this all along and all over Maharashtra (esp in Mumbai), the demography of the place wouldn't have changed the way it did.
Having criticizing Pawar's statement, the son-of-the soil policy, SS and MNS can Prasanna D Zore, the writer of this article provide adequate statistics to show that the policy is not prevalent elsewhere?

@Ujwala, this demand has been there always, but whether it has been implemented is a question. If your contention is rhetorically true, then you should not complain if USA demands to stop all the outsourcing to India, One notable, but not necessarily desirable characteristics of the 'locals for the local jobs' is the indifference that availability of a sure-job creates amongst the locals. With no one to compete, locals tend to be arrogant, demanding and less reliable (traits that are gone with competition).

@Seth, he is NOT corrupt and greedy and that would good enough for him (or for that matter anybody) to comment about the goon.
