Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy and author Sudha Murty have 'some misconceptions' about the ongoing social and educational survey being conducted in the state. "There is a notion that this is a survey for backward castes," Siddaramaiah told reporters in Bengaluru.

Not a backward classes survey: Karnataka CM

Further discussing the survey, Siddaramaiah said, "It is not a backward classes survey. Let them write whatever they want. People should understand what this survey is about. What can I do if they are unable to understand?" he added. "Should Infosys (founder) mean ‘Brihaspati’ (intelligent)? We have said 20 times it’s not a backward classes survey but a survey for everyone," Siddaramaiah said.
