Activists from Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV), led by T.A. Narayana Gowda, have been campaigning for job reservations for Kannadigas in the state. They allege that Kannadigas are not getting employment opportunities in their own state and have accused industrialist Mohandas Pai of intimidating the government from implementing the Mahishi Report, which recommended job reservations for locals. The campaign has sparked a debate over regional employment and corporate autonomy, with some arguing that it could damage investor confidence and Bengaluru's business environment. Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has urged companies to prioritize local talent during recruitment, assuring them full government support.
