Private companies that received land in Karnataka at throwaway prices and subsidized rates using public resources must answer one question: Why are they hesitant to conduct a transparent internal audit of their HR departments and senior recruitment staff? If hiring officials have used their positions to favour people from their own networks and discriminate against qualified Kannadigas, why shouldn't those practices be investigated and those responsible held accountable? Land was allotted at peanuts’ prices with the expectation of creating opportunities for Karnataka’s people—not enabling discrimination against them. If companies have nothing to hide, let them audit their hiring practices and prove it. @karave_KRV @CMofKarnataka @DKShivakumar @SantoshSLadINC @ajavgal

Karnataka spearheaded investment and job creation while several other states struggled to attract industries over the past few decades. Private companies received subsidized land and incentives, often at the cost of Kannadigas’ land, with the expectation of creating jobs for Karnataka’s people. We welcome talent from every state. We oppose favouritism, recruitment networks and hiring practices that allegedly bring in people from employees’ own states while sidelining qualified Kannadigas. Companies must audit HR and recruitment—hiring patterns, referrals, promotions and workforce representation—and act against any proven discrimination. An honest audit and corrective action can prevent government and pro-Kannada organizations from having to intervene. Ignore these concerns, and companies invite public scrutiny and outside intervention. Welcome talent. Reject discrimination. Respect Karnataka. @CMofKarnataka @DKShivakumar @SantoshSLadINC @karave_KRV
