Jamshedpur, Nov. 15: Marathi-speaking temporary workers at Tata Motors unit here are the new target of Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh, the outfit that vandalised plant head S.B. Borwankar’s house last month.

Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh would evolve its strategy on how to take on the temporary workers from Maharashtra at a meeting at D. Road Maidan in Telco township tomorrow.

Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh’s future programmes, including an agitation against the company management, is also expected to be announced at the meeting. Borwankar had come in the line of attack as the members alleged that he was “favouring fellow Marathis”.

“Tata Motors disengaged over 3,000 local temporary workers in the name of ongoing global recession. The company has also stopped giving orders to ancillaries in Adityapur citing the same reason.”

“But the company has not initiated similar steps against 1,000 temporary workers from Maharashtra as well as ancillaries in Pune, ” said Anand Bihari Dubey, the president of Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh.

Claiming that about 10,000 people would attend tomorrow’s meeting, he alleged that Borwankar was the “vital link between Marathi temporary workers and ancillaries operating in Pune”.

“He has also engaged an agency from Maharashtra to run the company canteen. Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh cannot tolerate such kind of partisan attitude. Local temporary workers have to be called back or the counterparts from Maharashtra should also be disengaged,” the Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh president said.

Though Dubey declined to comment on the future strategy against Tata Motors, but some Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh members said that Borwankar’s “pro-Marathi attitude” was being taken “very seriously” by them.

They said Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh had no option but to organise demonstrations against the company.

“Borwankar has not allowed the recession to affect Marathis engaged in the company. Units in Pune are continuing with supplies to Jamshedpur as well as the Pune plant even as local industries in Adityapur and Gamharia are crying for orders,” a Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh member said.

Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sanghhas campaigned a lot for tomorrow’s meeting asking its members and temporary workers to attend.

Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh members have extensively toured several areas, including Telco, Birsanagar, Baridih, Tinplate, Manifit and other localities.

Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh activists had vandalised the official residence of Borwankar on Nildih Road on October 21.

Two persons were arrested, but Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh members later staged a dharna in front of the East Singhbhum police superintendent’s office to demand the withdrawal of two serious charges against them.
