Siddaramaiah wants Karnataka residents to study Kannada out of pride

Bengaluru: Chief Minister of Karnataka Siddaramaiah called on all Kannada speakers to acquire the language, stressing that it is their duty to preserve the language, the land, and the water. It should be an honor to speak one's mother tongue, according to the Chief Minister.

It is necessary for everyone to choose to communicate with Karnataka residents in Kannada. Making a commitment to speak only Kannada is required. Kannada people are giving. Because of this, anyone in Karnataka, including those who speak other languages, can get by without learning Kannada, according to Siddaramaiah, who made this statement at a public event in Bengaluru.
