I think Rahul's constitutional saviour book is not distrubed to karnataka 😂

"Liberal" Kiran Mazumder Shaw got a taste of what a "Fascist" government Actually looks like 😂

Main reason why the Country will never become a powerhouse..

If reservations based on regionalism and language are possible in the private sector, reservations based on caste and religion could also arise in the future. This is not a good sign for a developing country even after 75 years of independence.

CM siddu expert in diverting issues and he knows how to control the media. Whenever he is on Blackfoot he brings Nandini,Kannada,Kaveri issue , his backward caste (I am also belongs to same caste) .his 4000cr scam in MUDA and 187 cr ST board scam .

I am a hard core kannadiga. i oppose this law. This would do more damage to us than good. Really substandard thinking. When will we go beyond vote bank politics. Govt should stay away from private sector.

this Karnataka CM is caught in corruption, hence he try to create different news headline, our news channel are stupid, ,they have to do publish more news about this CM's corruption.

I am from Karnataka. The only purpose of this bill is to divert the attention of people away from the multiple scams Siddu is involved in. Goal achieved when the entire national media talks only about this. Also, now BJP in Karnataka has to wait for some more time before bringing up the scams as they can not be seen to be opposing Kannadiga interests. Siddu wins even though this bill will never become the law.

Instead of distributing companies across Karnataka, encourage growth of smaller cities, they do these gimmicks.

I am kannadiga & against this law it is just brought to distract public from Scams Cong has done But A request to all other language people to respect Kannada & it's culture when you are staying here 🙏

Something that amaze me these politician even knowing these such bills never stand in court of law but still try to fool people, bihar quota struck down by patna high court, haryana reservation struck down by court before that maratha quota, prestigious industry body like nasscim has to openly raise concern about it shows u how our politician are failing our economy for their self political interest

Why government is interfering in private sector? First, government has to do it's job properly. Are government services like health, education, infrastructure etc good in Karnataka ?

Every time I want to encourage my daughter to stay in India ,grow in India..something like this happens.Why are we selecting our political leaders like this?

Next CONgress should introduce a law that 50% of tax revenues go into gandi family bank accounts and Indians need visas and passports to enter CONgress ruled States!

Haryana initiated it and met with disaster ….. Years ago Bal Thackeray demanded too .. disaster them days ! Such laws in Bharat never pass the supreme court’s judgment . Why not Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities be infrastructure developed in Bharat ?

This is their version of Bharat Jodo!

I think if they want to put quota in private sector they should 1st put quota for students in educational institutions. 100% kannadigas till 12th, 75% for graduation & 50% for PG, then no ll come to Karnataka & u can give ur 50-100% job quota. So pathatic are these politicians, I don't think we can ever become a developed 1st world country.

I thought Rahul Gandhi is the ultimate PAPPU in khangress... Sidda proved me wrong

Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Kodagu should ask for a separate state called Karavali Karnataka Kannada is not the majority language in those districts. They also don't usually vote for the current ruling party anyway.

Since this Siddaramiyah became CM hes been trying to divide people. Earlier he tried to divide lingayat community. North/South divisive sentiment also took root during his rule.

Kannada is NOT the language of all residents of Karmataka. The coastal konkan region has its own languages. Northern Karnataka speaks Marathi / Hindi. Areas bordering Andhra or Telangana speak Telugu! Muslims don't speak local languages and tend to speak urdu at home.

I have lived in Bengaluru for the last 17 years. Graduated from here, got a job here, contributed to the economy by paying high rent, paid my taxes to this state, was considering buying a flat here. N very stupidly voted for the current govt. I love Bengaluru and its weather and people, however, if it comes to this, I will consider moving out. My biggest regret is to vote for this govt.

And it was this same party that was talking about “Saving the constitution”

Madness. Rahul Gandhi demonstrating his understanding of "India is a union of states". BJP ruled Haryana tried the same under pressure from JJP. It yielded neither political nor economic benefits. All eyes on CBN now, if he manages to replicate his Hyderabad success with Amravati, he'll become a role model CM for all states.

I am expecting honarable karanataka govt to Put this local bill So that 70% telugu people will find difficlty and companies also find difficulty This will help AP to pull companies from Benagaluru

If all the states pass this kind of bill, I will become stateless

Companies and Skilled employees... please Just shift to Hyderabad which is much more inviting and you get better quality of life too. No one bothers you.

Vishwaguru apparently seems to be unable to even take care of its own family members, by discriminating based on language and domicile! Shame on those who voted in favor. Shame on us, that we selected such people who are doing this! Sorry for those "outsiders" who work in the state for ensuring the survival and wellbeing of their family back home! I hope that investors are positively spooked by this move and adequately punish the state government by shifting base somewhere else!

Please pass the law Mr Sidhharamiah Plzzzzzzzzzzzz We need jobs in Maharashtra Plz do so at the earliest However ONLY kannadigas will have to learn Marathi for jobs here 😉😉😉

Minorities will anyway vote for them even if they lose employment for not being kannadigas

Closing an IT company in Bangalore and open one in AP or TN is a matter of 6 months max to max

This is typical congress mentality. Seems that Congress do not think of India as a whole unit. This tendency will create animosity between peoples of different state and thus an insecure India. Shame on you Congress!!!

This government should be fined for wasting time and for the financial loss of the state.

They also would have made a law where investments also should from local Kannadiga only 😂

This is it. We are the new Argentina....

as a kannnadiga we wont support as ppl of karnataka we need competition higher competition higher advancement of techonologies

It's the two Congress leaders ... CM and his deputy outstanding each other 😂... Khata khat... Khata khat... One changing name of a city and other changing job eligibility 😂

Such a draconian law by the self-proclaimed “saviours of the Constitution”. India deserves better! 🤦🏻‍♂️

The CM will be appreciated ifnhe had passed law like this : A person can become chief minister or finance or law minister if has served 15 years in public life without any criminal charges and might have passed IIM, national law school and Delhi University economics tests etc ... Laughable law.

Why does every one in India needs quota from IAS to common people? Reservation or quota doesn't change anything...it complicates things.. Why not publish how much extra jobs , industries they can bring.... That will solve the local problem... won't it ?

An interview at Bangalore. Interviewer: Do you know C++ Candidate: No Interviewer: Do you know Java Candidate: No Interviewer: Do you know Python Candidate: No Interviewer: Then which language do you know Candidate: KANNADA Interviewer: Sir, CEO banoge hamari company me.

IT company needs to leave banglore

This is the party who wants to rule the country….they don’t know how to run a state with inclusiveness “mohbat ki dukan” , such a shame party and shame to the people who voted them to rule.

Private firms will shift from Karnataka.... They are working for making profit not to uplift unskilled locals

Please do some development work Congress. And I want to thank all people of Karnataka please keep voting Congress to power. You all will have great future. Jai Hind

This bill is directly violating the article 15

Company's money, company wants employees. Govt wants to decide who should work. What a joke.

They forgot to write Nodal Agency’s report should also be written in legible Kannada 😂😅

Mr.Gupta also make Cut the Clutter on unemployment problem in this country.State Governments to solve the problem.

Indian politics summary: one party trying to consolidate Hindu votes , polarizes by being anti Muslim and plays caste politics . The other party tries to break the Hindu consolidation to stop party 1 through caste, language, class and also minority appeasement . Smaller parties have their own rules

Anyone watching local channels and following assembly proceedings - kind of guessed that it was a distraction tactic!!

Shudder to think of a “inspector Raj”. But Shekar Ji, today in national public sector companies they have a Hindi Implementation cell? That their inspectors go all over the country to inspect Hindi implementation? That they check things like - if names of employees in attendance register is written in Hindi, count the number of official circulars written in Hindi and this list is endless. And in order to keep these “inspectors” happy, local officers go out of their way to keep them in good humor? You should do a talk on such existing practices too!! God save my country!!!

We don’t want any Indian companies in Karnataka. We have enough MNC’s in Karnataka. All other Indian investors please go to Bihar,UP, Rajastan,West Bengal ,Madyapradesh,Orissa and north east states. We don’t want to loose Kannada culture in Karnataka anymore.

MNCs are pure money minded. Train the locals well, they will give jobs to localities only.

I can see the start of the downfall of Bengaluru and Karnataka if this law gets passed.

Like SG says - No one can stop a bad idea whose time has come 😂

Rahul Before election:- samvidhan bachao Rahul after election:- samvidhaan mere l@wd£ pe😂😂😂 Not a matter of joke, they can go to any extent for votes. Now they will say these industrialist friends of modi are against kannadigas. And looking at the way of thinking of Karnataka locals , its a master move from election point of view.

As a Kanndiga. Who VOTED BJP. Im completly against this. Im so done with Congress. Wish I could clean them up.

Peak "bharat jodo" move by congress.....

Based on what research did the Congress bring this bill? 1. How many people are required to fill 70% positions and are there so many Kannada speaking skilled workers in Karnataka who can fill in the 70% quota (Kannada may not be the mother-tongue of people from some districts in Karnataka)? 2. The bill proposes training local Kannadigas to fill those positions within the next three years. Do they have any data on how many openings are there and how did they decide that 3 years would be sufficient for this? 3. For perspective, an engineering degree takes 4 years to complete but the real training starts after the graduate joins the industry. 4. What would be the impact on non-Kannadiga workforce already in those companies? Would the industries have to force them out? Answer seems obvious, but do they have any data on how many people would lose their jobs and how the Karnataka government would compensate them? 5. Most important of all, what are the governement's plans to encourage industrial growth in Karnataka? Any state has limited population of skilled workers. If the state encourages industries, then it attracts people from other states as well. Limiting participation of people from outside the state severely limits the number of companies that can be built in the state unless the state has a way to keep producing skilled workers that can sustain the growth rate. 6. Lastly, how much is this going to cost Karnataka? What would be the consequences if these companies decide to move out of the state? Is any study done on that? Probably, this is just a gimmick to divert people's attention from the corruption allegations on the CM, but if they are serious then the seriousness should reflect in the bill.

It is toxic when viewed from 1000 ft feet. I have spent 30yrs in industrty. I have seen the nepotism from close distance. A manager from x place comes and goes to campus interview for his/her native and floods the people from their place. If everyone is playing fair then we do not need such draconian laws. Sometime I wonder, man Yogi must have built much better education institutions in UP, so we have floor full of people from UP. Good job Yogi :-) Nepotism is in Indian dna and that is toxic. They take it where ever they go. I have worked in US for 18yrs, and same story there. Indian from x place comes and she/he tends to hire their own people. These companies had fair hiring proces. We just corrupted it with our nepotism.

How long you all depend on Karnataka? Come on, work towards developing your states. Migration has been the biggest problem in Karnataka now, it's high time to address it and control.

Instead of focusing on whatever happened to that abuser Prajwal Revanna, this is all Karnataka wants to focus on! Brilliant!

Karnataka is bearing the brunt of Congress retrograde policies starting with freebies that are hurting already. Tax payers are at mercy. Now this is a blow to industry and competitiveness that brings healthy candidates to workforce

Sir, please make a #cuttheclutter for the Pooja Khedkar case, there have been instances of mass forgery and misuse of Disability/EWS/OBC Certificates. What Govt is doing about it, what steps should be taken. The Watchdog of Merit System is under scrutiny, as Aspirants loose trust in the organisation.

This move can be revivable of IT in Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune , Kolkata. Keep it up Karnataka. Best of Luck. This happens when you vote for Freebies 😅

THE ONLY SIMPLE SOLUTION IS THAT KARNATAKA SHOULD MAKE A STRICT LAW SAYING THAT ALL THE PRIVATE COLLEGES IN KARNATAKA SHOULD ADMIT 75% OF STUDENTS FROM KARNATAKA ONLY. THEN AUTOMATICALLY MORE KARNATAKA PEOPLE WILL BE SKILLED AND MORE WILL GET JOBS.

Congress and their divisive politics. Caste, religion, language, north-south and what not. 😢

"Creative Destruction"

CON-gress is saving the samvidhan by reserving 100% pvt jobs for locals in Karnataka... Pappu followers are on the run to defend their master... 😂

This is the ‘inclusiveness‘, of Congress....

Like people take IELTS English test, people going to work in Karnataka will take IKLTS Kannadiga test. 😂 Will be funny if every state in India passes such law.

Groupism and nepotism among kannadigas is the least of all regions. Historical city Bengaluru City became cosmopolitan with it boom in the late 90s and always encouraging talent pool. Private companies are not here to do charity work and are here to make profits. Government bargains at the class 3 and 4 should not be more than 1/3 with the private organizations for the locals representation. Atleast 1/10 at the class 1 and 2.

Rahul Gandhi is a bad product of Nepotism. How can we expect from him that he will value talent and hardwork. 😅 According to him, India is not a counry but a union of states.

Siddharamaiah seems to be running for the post of PM of Telangana or Andhra. He is giving impetus to Industries to go to these states.

Cheap labor is what businesses look for irrespective of cities. Why USA companies operate from Bengaluru ? People here work for 1/10th the cost Why Bengaluru restos have north east or eastern Indian waiters? Same logic!

There should be a court case filed against this unconstitutional bill.

Shekhar Ji is saying that "this is coming from the government of a party that abolished the licence raj." Sir ji, it is the same party that brought the licence raj and had to abolish it when India was on the verge of begging bowls. The major point you are missing in this episode is how you ignore the Congress party's present economic policy. You whitewashed Congress in the beginning and then repeated it at the end by saying that even BJP will vote for this in the assembly. But doesn't that make BJP equally culpable for this destructive political direction of Congress? This is a greater problem and is going to cost the development of our country. At least you should have remembered that it was not the policy of BJP, a party whose national budget just before the general elections didn't have freebie offers. I am a common earning man, and I am paying approximately 30% of my earnings to run this country in the name of sales tax , income tax and other charges / fees . These freebies and politically motivated reservations are at the cost of my money. I don't get any reservation. Having said this, I am not against the reservation for the SC/ST population; my grudge is against these types of destructive politics played by Congress. This will force BJP also to move into such freebie politics, which is not their mistake but a wrong precedence set by a power-hungry Congress. At this point, I request Shekar Ji to make a national interest episode on the election offers of Congress, the money they offered to youth, ladies, etc., as free and the amount of money required to fulfill it and how it was a fraud. Even if Congress wanted to give it, the government wouldn't have sufficient money. Also, how a freebie Congress government in Karnataka has started to load the common man with price hikes just after a year of its rule. True journalists should save this country from half-informed sources like Dhruv Rathee.🙏

When Kannadigas start a SME, they hire all North or North-East Indians for a fact that they themselves know its not viable to pay Kannadigas and also live by their sassy behaviour.

This is a great decision by Karnataka government. Now these high paying MNCs will move out of Bangalore. And people who had to come to Bangalore because all jobs are here can move to better cities having good roads, police and lower cost of living

If politicians knows the final result of the law then why they are doing it again and again.

This action will reduce the presige of. Bangalore and act against Karnataka development. If they believe in it, they should not send the locals to other states and countriesike UDA, Canada, Australia etc.

The congress vision has always been adversely affecting the state. Instead of development they chose to provide freebies. Now instead of inviting more companies to invest in Karnataka they are forcing the companies to move out of Karnataka. Instead of focusing on increasing the skills of locals by providing good education, they are forcing good talent out of the state. This way a state can only collapse. Any person who thinks this bill is good for the state's progress is the most damfool short-sighted person.

I'm born in Maharashtra but I'm more than happy to take TOEFL- style Kannada language test and i can pass it successfully i would be happy to migrate to Bangalore...I appreciate recognition based on merit!!...Nothing wrong in it....I'm willing to work hard to secure a high paying, white collar job in Bangalore.....uncontrolled migration also need to be regulated otherwise Quality of Life is affected for everyone (seeing Mumbai of 2024) 😢....South is moderately populated than High populated Northern belt!!...

This bill was needed cause of the people who are in the managements of all firms who have taken up their state people more for their benifit even in the small scale industries factories they hire their state/city/ village keeping their cuts and to overrule. In this job politics locals are suffering. This bill must be implicated so that this job politics would come to an end. And locals gets benefited by the investments which is done in their state and city. Other state people are making a fuss on this bill when this kind of bills are already passed and applied in other part of the country. And this is not just about speaking kannada this is about creating jobs in private sectors for locals. Bengalurens are talented but the opportunities for them are coming to an end due to state fellowship politics.

I’m not a Kannadiga, however I always thought Kannadigas were very tolerant that they let their urban centers flooded by non locals. Or they were too slow to realize this. What is happening now is not an outcome of some concern for Kannada identity. I believe people are genuinely concerned with their livelihood and survival which politicians understood and acted politically. This issue will arise in every state. When income disparity becomes telling, xenophobia is the natural consequence that shows up first.

Kannada people are very good. These politicians just want to stir controversies to divert their faults.

It was a distraction to divert focus from corruption charges 😅 Its classic politics

There is job mafia in Tamil Nadu and Andhra where they directly prefer locals but this is not true in Karnataka so they tried to influence directly, media People can’t understand local knowledge Kerala Tamil and Andhra people prefer people from their language. It is a problem people from outside can’t understand

Thanks ❤❤❤ and was WORTH listening in for me too❤ my mangalorean bangalore Karnataka Love my childhood day's Journalism Editorial full of information and not tired of giving more information.. in those days of newspaper boy's days ❤❤❤ I still buy TOI but i rarely touch it... For some reason.. That bengali Bihari BOY Dutifully 'DROPS' the newspaper at my door... And for that .. Am grateful ❤ to my .. KA St bangalore INDIA

As a Kannadiga. we can proudly say that, We have selected a government which can proudly take back our state to 20 years

Typical Congress govt

Karnataka gives only 30 percent jobs to non kannadigas All other 35 states and union Territories should bring a law that states that people of kannada can have only less than 1 percent of jobs in other states. 1x35 = 35

It is the exact feeling of locals of Karnataka

For the economic development there will always be places that will become a "hub" and an ecosystem is built there to attract talents and investments easily. That's how Silicon Valley (US) was built. Places like Tokyo and Seoul are made Japanese and Koreans respectively, but look at their education level and talent pool. Can the people of Karnataka claim that Karnataka's talent pool is strong enough to build a silicon valley? Ask your government to educate your people and schools first, maybe then you'll have a chance, otherwise you or any place in India will need talented people from the whole of India to build a silicon valley or any kind of "hub" for that matter, whether it's arts, music, fashion, education and so on.

Shekuuu Barking against master don't you know *British used Divide & Rule & Congress follows the same* ?

I think this is very good law. Karnataka govt should continue and make all necessary arrengement to impement this law.

Headline should not say just Karnataka, it should say when Congress takes Karnataka... All this is evil Congress politics which has nothing to do with people,it is only about power. Supreme Court should strike this down.

i was waiting this video
