Bengaluru, Nov.05:
“Small enterprises in Karnataka have the capability to manufacture quality furniture; utilize and encourage them. Through that, give higher priority to Karnataka. Provide more employment to Kannadigas in the IKEA organization,” advised Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar.
Shivakumar spoke after inaugurating the IKEA store on Kanakapura Road on Thursday.
“I have never gone to the inauguration of any stores until now. I don’t usually go even to the inauguration of buildings started by my children. This is the first time I have come for a store inauguration,” he said.
Our youth are talented and cultured
“We are inviting global investors to Karnataka and have created many opportunities here. We are in the southern part of Bengaluru. IKEA is famous for quality products, and IKEA should give higher priority to Karnataka. Sweden has good relations with India and Karnataka; provide more jobs to local Kannadigas. Our youth are talented and cultured. They have the marketing skills to attract customers,” he assured.
“IKEA is affordable for all sections of society and has maintained quality. Myself and our minister Priyank Kharge have come to this program to encourage you and assure you that the Karnataka government is with you. I wish you all the best in the future,” he stated.
