Bandra football ground to be made into convention centre, Aaditya Thackeray criticises

The BMC's Improvements Committee has approved the proposal to convert the Neville D'Souza football ground in Bandra West into a convention and exhibition centre. "If you are wondering why India isn't playing the FIFA World Cup...stop wondering," Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said, alleging that the BJP-led government wants to crush sports in Mumbai. The ground also has turf.
