Mithun Chakraborty Revives Dream Of Bengal Football Academy, Meets Minister Nisith Pramanik
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.
