Siddaramaiah's Karnataka Approves 100% Job Quota Bill for Locals
Jul 17, 2024, 11:53 AM
The Karnataka state government, led by CM Siddaramaiah, has approved a controversial bill mandating job reservations for locals in the private sector. The bill proposes 100% reservation for Kannadigas in Group C and D posts, and 50%-70% reservation for management and non-management roles. Industry leaders, including former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai and software body Nasscom, have criticized the move, arguing it will deter talent and investment, potentially forcing companies to relocate. Pai described the bill as 'draconian,' while CPI-M MP John Brittas called it 'retrograde.' Karnataka IT Minister Priyank Kharge and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar have promised wider consultations with industry stakeholders. The bill has sparked significant debate, with opposition from various political figures and industry giants who label it as regressive and detrimental to the state's economic growth.
