The Karnataka cabinet approved a bill mandating 100 per cent reservation to Kannadigas, or local residents, for C and D grade posts in private industries. But, chief minister Siddaramaiah, who made the announcement in a social media post, deleted it after severe criticism from industry giants. Later, however, he shared the post again on his X handle.
The chief minister said the Congress-led government in the state was “pro-Kannada” and took this decision at a cabinet meeting so as to give more jobs and opportunities to Kannadigas. Amid this backlash, however, the state government assured that it will have wider consultations and discussions on the matter.
