Firms need not display Kannadiga staff count: DKS
Hindustan Times
|February 24, 2024
Karnataka deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar on Friday dismissed state minister Shivaraj S Tangadagi's statement that the government was considering making all multinational firms publicly display the number of Kannadigas employed in their offices, saying it was "impossible" to implement such ideas.

"Bengaluru is a global city and is open for all. The whole world is looking at us and the government has not made any such plans. We will not think along those lines," Shivakumar told reporters outside the legislative assembly.
"Everyone can come here and work. We are just ensuring that 60% of signage boards in the state are in Kannada and there are no other plans than this," he added, referring to the recent passage of a bill mandating 60% use of Kannada in signboards of businesses and establishments across the state.
