In a heartening development for sports lovers, BJP leader and actor Mithun Chakraborty's ambitious plan for a dedicated football academy in West Bengal has received strong endorsement from Minister Nisith Pramanik. The announcement comes amid celebrations of the BJP's recent electoral success. Pramanik, addressing the media, emphasized Chakraborty's credentials beyond the silver screen. 'Mithun Da has always been passionate about football—he's played at a high level and remains a true fan. It's inspiring to see him channel this love into developing Bengal's sporting infrastructure,' he stated. Chakraborty opened up about the hurdles he faced. 'For 15 years, this academy was my dream, but the TMC regime stifled it at every turn. Today, with BJP at the helm, we're moving forward with capable leaders by our side.' He credited his grassroots political work, spending five years connecting with people in remote areas to build the party's foundation. 'From tiny villages to bustling streets, I worked relentlessly to bloom the lotus,' Chakraborty said. The minister linked this momentum to rapid responses on pressing issues like the RG Kar incident. 'Less than a week into governance, we're acting decisively on public demands that propelled us to victory. Expect a series of reforms ahead.' Football enthusiasts across Bengal are thrilled, viewing the academy as a game-changer. With Chakraborty and Pramanik's commitment, the state could soon witness a renaissance in its football culture, fostering young talents and promoting healthy competition.
