Taking an indirect dig at those who feel that IT firms may shift to other States if Bengaluru’s flood-hit infrastructure is not rebuilt, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday argued that it is not possible to separate the IT sector from Bengaluru and Karnataka.
“There is no second word about the IT/BT sector’s contribution in building Brand Bengaluru. But at the same time, Bengaluru is also important for IT sector because of its technological base, skilled manpower, and salubrious climate,” Mr. Bommai told the Legislative Assembly, while replying to a debate on recent rains and floods.
“There is a strong ground for Bengaluru in terms of its culture and education apart from technological base and skilled manpower,” he said.
