Many founders in Bengaluru expressed backlash on the Karnataka cabinet’s decision to introduce the new Bill and even planned to move out of Bengaluru, if the bill is passed. The ministers from other states like Telugu Desham Party’s (TDP) Nara Lokesh too welcomedthe establishments in Bengaluru to set up their shop in Andhra Pradesh’s Vishakhapatnam and promised full support along with friendly policies.
However, on Wednesday night, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced the decision to temporarily pause the controversial bill. In an X post, he wrote, “The draft bill intended to provide reservations for Kannadigas in private sector companies, industries, and enterprises is still in preparation. A comprehensive discussion will be held in the next cabinet meeting to make a final decision.”
