Bajaj Auto, on Thursday, termed the employee union’s demand that the company allocate funds for tribal development from CSR spend and set up a museum in founder Jamnalal Bajaj’s name as ‘insane’, and said it would ensure that work was not affected.

'If the demands of the union were somewhat preposterous the last time in June 2013, they are entirely insane this time around,' Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director, Bajaj Auto, said in a statement.

'It seems to me that with some of the irresponsible union leaders and members, the management is guilty of sparing the rod and spoiling the child.'

'We will be certain not to repeat that error while taking all possible care to ensure the safety of the majority of our colleagues who wish to continue to work ,' Mr. Bajaj added.
