Hindustan TimesThe Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government on Wednesday put on hold the controversial bill mandating reservations for Kannadigas in the private sector. “The draft bill intended to provide reservations for Kannadigas in private sector companies, industries, and enterprises is still in the preparation stage. "The bill approved by the Cabinet to provide reservation for Kannadigas in private sector organisations, industries and enterprises has been temporarily put on hold. The industry giants called the bill a “regressive move showing shortsightedness.” Siddaramaiah had deleted an X post on 100 per cent reservation for Kannadigas, in which he had said,"The Cabinet meeting held yesterday approved a bill to make recruitment of 100 per cent Kannadigas mandatory for "C and D" grade posts in all private industries in the state."
