Karnataka’s opposition leader takes aim at Infosys, alleging the company is prioritizing real estate over its core tech concerns.

Karnataka’s Deputy Leader of Opposition, Arvind Bellad, has accused Infosys of failing to create jobs despite receiving subsidized land from the government. During a legislative session, Bellad called for action against the IT company, claiming that it had obtained land in Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Mangaluru but had not fulfilled its employment commitments. He also shared a video on social media, saying that the government should reclaim the land from farmers and that Infosys had betrayed their trust. Bellad has previously raised similar concerns, urging the government to reclaim 58 acres of land allocated to Infosys in Hubballi due to its failure to generate jobs. He believes that the company had promised jobs but delivered only empty promises and trees. Bellad’s comments have sparked controversy, with some criticizing his views and others supporting his call for accountability from Infosys.
