Mumbai: After calling on Marathi youth to give a shot to railway recruitment examination, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists today took a truck full of applications to the railway authorities for submission.

"We submitted 1.38 lakh applications to the railway authorities today," said Atul Sarpotdar, President of Maharashtra Navnirman Railway Sena (MNRS).

Alleged sidelining of Marathi youth in the railway and other government recruitment has been MNS's chief agitation plank.

Party chief Raj Thackeray had initiated a drive earlier this month, appealing Marathi youth to appear for the railway exam. The party even distributed a handbook on how to apply, alongwith some seven lakh application forms.

Not wanting to be left behind, Shiv Sena too announced that it would organise coaching for railway examination.

Western and Central railway have sought applications for over 10,000 posts.

It is said that a house divided cannot stand. So, how long can a country divided stand? Any Indian from any part of India should have equal opportunity to be hired. People should demand the hiring of best candidates without favouritism, nepotism and bribery. The leaders who promote hatred and divisions on the lines of religion, caste, region, etc. are the enemies of India. They should be behind bars.
