Mithun Chakraborty Revives Dream Of Bengal Football Academy, Meets Minister Nisith Pramanik
Bengal Football Academy: Veteran actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty on Friday said that the Bengal Football Academy was a long-cherished dream of him, which could not materialise earlier due to political hurdles, but expressed confidence that the newly formed BJP government in West Bengal would now help turn the vision into reality.
Speaking to IANS after meeting Minister Nisith Pramanik in Kolkata to discuss the proposed football academy, Mithun Chakraborty said he had been trying for the past 15 years to establish the institution.
"Bengal Football Academy has been a dream of mine for the past 15 years. They (TMC) didn’t let me do anything. Whatever I wanted to do, they had stopped me, and then I also got fed up. But this year our government has come, and we have got such a good minister. So, I came here and told him that I want to do this again," he said.
