Questioning the guidelines followed in the selection of languages to impart training to MPs, legislators from Centrally administered territories, and officials, the Kannada Development Authority (KDA) has expressed disappointment over Kannada being dropped from the list of languages proposed by the Parliament Secretariat. “What are the parameters followed in the selection of languages?

Nagabharana said, adding that Karnataka might have to fight by seeking support from MPs elected from the State.More Related News
