“The States of India were formed on the basis of language. In each State, the regional language, that is the mother tongue of the people, enjoys primacy. That is why actor Kichcha Sudeep’s statement on the primacy of Kannada is right. Everyone should understand and respect his views,” the CM said in response to queries on the debate between actor Sudeep and his Hindi counterpart Ajay Devgn on the national language and on the status of Kannada.
