Reserve 80% of jobs in Karnataka for local people in both public and private sectors
“To ensure 80% in jobs in Karnataka to local people in both Public and Private Sector.”
The verdict
The cabinet approved a private-sector local quota Bill (50% management, 75% non-management) in July 2024 but put it on hold within days after industry objections. No later revival was found, so it has been idle for over two years without being introduced.
Rule applied: Stalled: deadline passed or 2+ years idle, only announced → 1
“The Kannadiga-first jobs bill is local all right: it never left the Cabinet room.”
