Speaking at a Bovi community convention in Bagalkot on Thursday, he said that he is ready to fulfill the community’s demand on this.

“I am also ready to start an academic centre to study the community’s culture, development status and opportunities for growth and other aspects. During my first tenure as Chief Minister, I fulfilled my promise of setting up a Bovi Development Corporation. Our party has been protecting your interests. We will continue to do so. And, you should bless us,” he said.

He inaugurated the convention by breaking a stone, as a mark of respect to the original profession of the community.

He distributed food to the seers of the community and had lunch with other leaders.
