 Governor R. S. Gavai, at a function organized to honor Bhojpuri singer and actor Manoj Tiwari who was recently felicitated by the Dutch government that issued a postal stamp in recognition of his fame and talent, said he would do his best to push the agenda of getting Bhojpuri language included in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
