Pressing its demand for employment to 'sons of soil', Shiv Sena has asked Canara Bank to recruit at least 80% locals during its drive to fill up 1500 clerical posts.
"We are keeping a minute watch on the candidates' selection process and have asked the Bank to keep aside 80% posts for locals," Sena leader Anil Desai said.
Desai, along with senior Sena leader Gajanan Kirtikar, met the bank general manager. Kirtikar heads the Sthaniya Lokadhikar Samiti Mahasangh, an outfit of Shiv Sena working for the local people's plights in jobs.
"The Bank management has said priority will be given to Marathi candidates and Marathi will be used in bank transactions," Desai said.
