Karnataka to revisit job quota bill for Kannadigas: Lad

Labour Minister Santosh Lad stated on Thursday that the State Government is committed to pursuing legislation for job reservations for Kannadigas in the private sector. He said the proposal, which has been under active consideration for the past three years, would move forward after consultations with other departments. The original draft proposed reserving 50% of management positions and 70% to 75% of non-management positions for local candidates. Meanwhile, IT/BT Minister Priyank Kharge stated that the government would study legal challenges faced by similar measures in other states before proceeding.
