All that they need is opportunities,” he said while virtually participating in the Karnataka Rajyotsava, organised by the Association of Kannada Koota of America (AKKA).
Bommai said ”Your dignified conduct makes us proud. Since your words carry weightage, you should speak to the investors there, inform them about the industrial environment of the state and convince them to invest in Karnataka.” He assured them that the state government would stand firmly behind them.
The Chief Minister underlined that the Kannadigas need to be financially strong as it enables them make their mother tongue prosperous. ”It is our desire to see that every Kannadiga is financially sound. We are working to provide more job opportunities to Kannadigas through education and training in Kannada,” Bommai said.
