If this rule implicated strictly then it could be the downfall of Maharashtra. Maharastrians are one of the laziest workers and involved in strikes etc. which already made many companies either to close down or to move out of Maharashtra. I hope not the Government implicating such rule, hit their own legs with their own axe. Moreover, if Mumbai is developed, it is because of people from other part of the country. And if these people go from there, then future of Mumbai will be bleak.

Its a very good decision by Deshmukh govt.b'coz he knows how to protect his people. Mr-Yeddiurappa atleast wake-up now and try to do something better for Kannadiga people. b'coz in Karnataka state specialy in mangalore,our railway department more then 70 percent jobs has occupy by Kerala people. this is not a justice with Kannadigas. why this rule only applicable in maharastra? it must be requir in Karnataka. also wants to start 80 percent jobs for local.

Hats of! to the CM, the same should be done in Karnataka, 90% are Tamilians/Mallu's or Reddys, then kannidagas need not go anywhere, in Bangalore you need not know to speak kannada but Tamil is a must, what can we say about this, our State politicans are really useless they have destroyed Bangalaore, Lets clear our mess first god save Karnataka

it's not a wise decision.As Mumbai is commercial capital of india,jobs are generating every day,and it attracts pepole from every corner of india. As a indian citizen, any person opt for job any corner of india. it is his constitutional right. By doing this Desmuk attacked on rights of the people.

With in India every citizen should have equal rights to travel, Live & work in every section of the Government & Private sector. If the people of India do not fight for equal rights to work in every corner of the country then soon India will be destroyed by Indians and will become land with many countries fighting many wars for hundreds of boundaries. Educated & people with power Please work to Keep India one Nation.

Hats off to Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh of Maharastra for your decision to reserve 80% jobs to Maharastians not because of this decision but because the way you wanted to implement this. No bullet, no violence, no hartal, no property damage but only wise, intelligent decision. The question is whether when this will materialise and put into practice.

Deshmukh is the CM who was thrown out from the CM Chair in his first term for not performing well and Shinde bought in. I can't understand why Sonia choose this person as CM for the second term again. This was surprising. Now see what is happening in Maharashtra ? I am sure Deshmukh will again be the CM for the third term with MNS support.

For power sake Deshmukh will be ready to do anything. Now elections are approaching. What Satya said is correct. Deshmukh will definitely join hands with MNS to form the next Government if Congress does not get majority. Good idea Deshmukh. Deshmukh was sitting and watching the tamasha last month when Kalyan was getting burnt. Raj was arrested only for name sake as an eye wash to fool public. After Sonia asked for a report, Deshmukh had a deal with Raj to put him one night inside so that Deshmukh will be safe and his Chair also will be safe and he did it. It was said for two days he will be out but now even a month is over Raj is out.

Mr. Chief Minister should define locals when he speaks of 80% reservation for locals. Locals should be regardless of caste,religion etc who have been staying in Mumbai for over 15 years. Definitely, there should be a line drawn for eligibility of jobs in mumbai as people from all over the country folks to mumbai thereby, puting a lot of pressure on its infrastructure which is unable to bear the influx. Other states such Bihar, UP, MP should be developed as they are way behind as far as progress goes thanks to the corrupt politician in those states. Illiteracy is one of the common cause of misery in those states.

Maharashtra Government has penchant for springing surprises after surprises. After legalising much hated livein relationships,it has come out with a new step in right direction. I feel reservation of jobs for locals is absolutely neccessary. Every state Government should emulate this step as this would stop people from migrating from one state to another in search of menial jobs. Merit should matter only in cases where knowledge & intelligence is required.

Deshmukh very good decision. You also want to keep your CM Chair and have to live in Mumbai. Now you also have become Raj's Gulam. In the same time you are also a Marathi Manoos. I think Hijadas are better than you. At last you bowed to Raj the Goonda's demand. Shame on you. Better resign Deshmukh. Elections are on the way and so you also need support of Locals to keep your Chair intact. Why 80%, make it 100%.

Great Idea Mr.Deshmukh.....Same thing was said by Mr.Raj.Thakrey both hav same agenda.....In MNS party not only Maharastrians u can find all states people as its members.But Deshmukh wanna make Mumbai as Shanghai........so he n congress had this idea from long time n the congress too wanted to send all UP n Biharis out of Maharastra n just waiting MNS guys to act...n later play the game.

I do remember once i had read in article Deshmukh wanted to send all these North Indians to send them back ,then only he will succeed of his Dream to make Mumbai to shanghai. Just wait n c in future these congress party will join hands with MNS to form the co-Govt. in Maharastra that is for sure....u can make out by Deshmukhs statements in TV interviews.

I think this is a very good move, especially for city like Mumbai. This will force other states like Bihar and UP to create more job oppurtunities in their state. I too believe in giving equal oppurtunity to all, but this step was very much required in controlling the population of mumbai and burden on their infrastructure.

Good idea Mr. Chief Minister, let all states start the same thing and follow your guideline. Mr. Yudirappa, pls drive away all non Kannadigas from Bangalore or in Karnataka. What a selfish nature and our politiicans can go to any extent. Good Luck and JAI HIND

Rose Marie Pinto,

We have lakhs of efficient/ talented youth registered at the local employment exchanges for years in Mumbai. They are the ones who where born/lived here and had their education here in Maharashtra. Any hopes to these youngsters? A few are called for interviews at Government offices, but ultimately, who are ed is unknown? Now that the Assembly as also Lok Sabha Elections will be held next year, any hopes to the youth registered at the Employment Exchanges?

Would it be materialised? Election is at the door step. It feels like Localisation. Best of Luck Mr. Deshmukh.

smart move by the state government, by defining LOCALS....as many non maharastrians by faith or religion are locals of the state. I sincerly hope people of the state in general and the country as a whole will benefit by this proposal. Hope and pray this proposal is enacted as a law as soon as possible to avoid chaos and hatred among our citizens.

"Anyone who has been residing for over 15 years in the state would be considered as local" Initially I was fuming but upon reading the above part of the news, I fully agree that the decision is justifiable. We have several non-maharashtrians living there since many years - they should not be deprived of their daily bread overnight replaced by Maharashtrians. MNS who forces localization on outsider-establishstments will have a big blow if this law will be formalised.
