Karnataka: CM Shivakumar asks pro-Kannada groups to stay away from IT firms, promises action on hiring bias
Bengaluru: Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday urged pro-Kannada organisations not to take matters into their own hands after reports of protests outside technology companies in Bengaluru over alleged discrimination against Kannadigas in recruitment.
The appeal comes amid growing complaints that local candidates are being overlooked for jobs by the IT/BT companies. The issue gained traction after a social media video alleging bias against Kannadigas in hiring went viral, triggering widespread debate online.
