He said it was his government’s wish that Kannadigas be given an opportunity to lead a comfortable life in their state and not be deprived of jobs in ‘Kannada land’.
“We are a pro-Kannada government. Our priority is to look after the welfare of Kannadigas,” the chief minister said.
According to sources in the law department, the bill will be tabled on Thursday in the assembly.
