The language issue, especially between Kannada and non-Kannada speakers, has been revived after a Bengaluru autorickshaw was spotted having an offensive message on the back of it. This led to widespread backlash and a response from a Delhi influencer.
What Did the Auto Say?
Recently, a photo started to circulate online of an autorickshaw from Bengaluru and a particular message it had on the back of it.
The message targeted non-Kannada speakers, insulting and offending them, demanding that they learn the local language if they want to stay. The autorickshaw had written, “You are in Karnataka. Learn ಕನ್ನಡ. Don’t show your attitude, you f*er. You come to beg here…”

How Did The Delhi Influencer Respond?
Madhur (@ThePlacardGuy) posted a photo of this vehicle and replied to the message on the back of the vehicle.
The Delhi-based influencer in an X/Twitter post wrote, “I’m once again saying, Come to Delhi, and don’t speak in Hindi if you don’t know/want, speak in English or sign language or whatever convenient. Nobody will be rude to you for not talking in Hindi. And certainly nobody would tell you that you came to Delhi to beg.
We know if you came to Delhi for work, it’s because Delhi people were not skilled enough for that task, that’s why someone who knew the job better than a Delhiite got that job/started that business. No hate for not speaking in Hindi, you’re all welcome!
And it’s not just Delhi who is giving you job/bread/money, it’s both ways, you’re giving employment to Delhiites too, the cabbies, sabzi walas, delivery boys, your house’s owner, everyone is earning their living because of you.
So, we’re thankful that you choose Delhi as your destination. Enjoy your time here! Cheers.”
This incident follows the viral clip of the SBI manager refusing to speak Kannada or English, which also drew backlash from many people, including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
In an official X/Twitter post, he wrote, “The behaviour of the SBI Branch Manager in Surya Nagara, Anekal Taluk, refusing to speak in Kannada & English and showing disregard to citizens, is strongly condemnable. We appreciate SBI’s swift action in transferring the official. The matter may now be treated as closed.”
