Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday said Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy and author Sudha Murty have “some misconceptions” about the ongoing social and educational survey being carried out in the state. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Siddaramaiah said, “There is a notion that this is a survey for backward castes. It is not a backward classes survey. Let them write whatever they want. People should understand what this survey is about. What can I do if they are unable to understand?” The Chief Minister’s remarks came after the Murthys declined to participate in the survey, writing on the form that they do not belong to backward communities. Responding to their stance, Siddaramaiah remarked, “Should Infosys (founder) mean ‘Brihaspati’ (intelligent)? We have said 20 times it’s not a backward classes survey but a survey for everyone.”
