Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has urged Kannadigas to buy land on their own to construct Kannada Bhavan and residential accommodations in Goa, instead of requesting their government to provide land for them.
Sawant made the remarks while speaking at the 7th Cultural Conference organised by Akhil Goa Kannada Sangh in Bicholim, North Goa, on Sunday. “Your CM, Basavaraj Bommai, talks to me about your (Kannadiga residents’) issues in Goa. He also reiterates his demand (for Kannada Bhavan), but there is a shortage of land with the government. But you can construct a Bhavan on land you have purchased,” the Goa Chief Minister said at the event.
Earlier, the Karnataka government had written to Pramod Sawant, seeking a nearly one-to-two-acre property for constructing a Kannada Bhavan in the coastal state of Goa.
Kannadigas residing in Goa have been demanding a Bhawan for almost four decades.
