Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has criticized Infosys founders Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murthy for opting out of the state’s Social and Educational Survey, asserting that their decision reflects a misunderstanding of the initiative’s purpose.
The Murthys declined participation, stating they do not belong to any backward community. Siddaramaiah emphasized that the survey is not exclusive to backward classes but aims to encompass the entire population.
He questioned, “Just because they are Infosys, are they all-knowing?” The Chief Minister reiterated that the survey intends to gather comprehensive data for inclusive development.
