Karnataka CM warns Bengaluru’s IT companies over alleged bias against Kannadigas: What triggered his statement?

Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Sunday warned private companies of action if they were found deliberately denying jobs to Kannadigas. His remarks came after a video alleging language-based discrimination in Bengaluru’s information technology (IT) sector went viral on social media.

“If it is found that any private institution has deliberately sidelined Kannadigas, the government will take appropriate action,” Shivakumar said in a post on X.
