Kannada organizations demand implementation of job reservation bill for local candidates in Bengaluru's private companies

Kannada organizations have raised serious allegations that Kannada speakers are being ignored in major private companies in Bengaluru's Silicon City. They are demanding that the government implement the 'Local Candidates' Employment Bill, 2024, which was approved by the state cabinet nearly 18 months ago. The proposed bill aimed to allocate 50% reservation in management roles, 70-75% in non-management roles, and 100% in Group C and Group D posts for local candidates.
