Kannada is supreme in Karnataka: State Minister

Karnataka Kannada and Culture Minister C T Ravi on Thursday said the BJP-led government at the Centre has no plans to impose Hindi, as he asserted that Kannada is supreme in the state.

"Central government is not imposing Hindi and it won't do it also. Our party's principle is that importanceshould be given to regional languages," Ravi said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said, "Kannada has its own ability and in Karnataka Kannada is supreme... link language is different matter and it was left for people to decide whether one needs to learn it or not."
