JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy has urged the Centre to bring in necessary amendments to Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) examination rules to allow job aspirants to write exams in local languages.

The Centre has recently brought in changes into the rules, diluting the clause on language proficiency. Forcing the job aspirants to write exams either in English or Hindi is against the principles of the constitution of India, the former chief minister said in a letter to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
