Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stated that the decision was taken to ensure that no local was denied job opportunities and to help them build their lives in their home state. The move has been met with mixed reactions. Some have welcomed the decision, saying that it will protect the interests of Kannadigas and ensure that they are not marginalized in their own state. Others have criticized the move, saying that it is discriminatory and will harm the economy. The Bill will now be introduced in the state legislature. If it is passed, it will be a major victory for the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV), a pro-Kannada organization that has been campaigning for job reservation for Kannadigas in the private sector. The KRV has argued that Kannadigas are being denied job opportunities in their own state by non-Kannadigas who are willing to work for lower wages. The organization has also accused the government of not doing enough to protect the interests of Kannadigas. The government has defended the Bill, saying that it is necessary to protect the interests of Kannadigas. The government has also said that the Bill is in line with the Constitution of India, which allows for job reservation for backward classes. The Bill is likely to face legal challenges. The Supreme Court has ruled that job reservation cannot exceed 50%. It is unclear whether the Karnataka High Court will uphold the Bill if it is challenged in court. The Bill has also raised concerns among investors. Some investors have said that they may reconsider investing in Karnataka if the Bill is passed. The government has tried to reassure investors that the Bill will not harm the economy. However, it is unclear whether investors will be convinced by the government’s assurances. The Bill is a controversial issue. It is likely to face legal challenges and could also harm the economy. It is unclear whether the Bill will be passed into law. However, the Bill has sent a clear message that the government is committed to protecting the interests of Kannadigas.
Bengaluru: The Karnataka Cabinet on Tuesday approved a Bill to provide 100 per cent job reservation for Kannadigas in ‘C’ and ‘D’ category posts in the private sector, said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday.
Siddaramaiah stated the decision to provide cent per cent job reservation for Kannadigas in the private sector was to ensure that no local was denied job opportunities and to help them build their lives in their home state.
“My Government is a pro-Kannada government which is committed to protect the interests of Kannadigas,” he said.
A fortnight back, members of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) Narayana Gowda faction had submitted a memorandum to Siddaramaiah demanding job reservation for Kannadigas and urged Chief Minister to introduce a Bill for the purpose.
He had assured the Vedike that he would look into their demand and hold a discussion with the Advocate-General on introduction of a law for the purpose while keeping in mind the Constitutional aspects.
