A video from an Airtel gallery in Charkop, Mumbai, has gone viral, showing an employee refusing to speak Marathi despite a customer’s insistence. The woman questioned, “Why should I speak Marathi? Where is it written?” The incident has fueled the ongoing debate on Marathi’s importance in Maharashtra. Akhil Chitre, a Uddhav Thackeray faction leader, later visited the gallery, questioning Airtel’s hiring policies. He demanded that 80% of Airtel’s Maharashtra workforce be Marathi-speaking and warned of potential backlash if the company fails to implement this. Chitre urged Airtel to take action against employees refusing to use Marathi, emphasising that the party would ensure Marathi gets its due respect.
