According to reports, it is said that several social and Kannada activists had decided to trend the hashtag on Saturday at 6 pm, but several tweets began to make its way into the Twitter timeline from the very morning.

Reports further stated that the job opportunities in Karnataka should first be given to the people of the state. Only then must companies take into consideration those from other states.

Several questions were raised on why most of the public banks in the state recruit employees, who do not know the state language and finding it difficult to have a conversation with the bank account holders.
