In this Special Report, former Indian football captain Baichung Bhutia discusses the chaotic scenes during Lionel Messi’s visit to Kolkata, which led to the resignation of West Bengal Sports Minister Aroop Biswas today. Bhutia criticizes the ‘VIP culture’ where politicians and officials overshadowed genuine fans, stating, ‘The sport has to be the priority… not the netas or any self-claimed VIPs.’ He contrasts the ‘Messi mania’ with the pitiable state of Indian football, urging corporates to invest in infrastructure rather than temporary euphoria. Bhutia also shares details of his brief meeting with Messi in Delhi, where he thanked the legend for inspiring his children.
