AGARTALA, Aug 20 (TIWN): CPI-M Govt using Centre's money to feed corrupt companies like Nagarjuna Constructions and blowing trumpets of development fooling voters continue as Manik Sarkar failed to thanks Centre for this Rs 181 crores funding. Smiles, unending joys of children were seen at the proposed international cricket ground in Narshingarh TIT College on Sunday when the foundation stone was laid by the Chief Minister Manik Sarkar on Sunday. Dreams of becoming great cricketers have been every little player's dream there, but how many of them will get proper 'opportunity' to become somebody like Kapil Dev or Sourav Ganguli.... question raised ! Even a son of a saloon worker while talking to TIWN was telling about his dreams to become a great player. Tripura Chief Minister also mentioned that 'Cricket now a day lies on Money', asking the TCA Officials to begin scouting of children and 'hunting of talents'. But who will take the responsibility as CPI-M controlled TCA's corruption, fights among the Association members were exposed many times.

 Cricket talents in Tripura had wasted without shining on the real field. The huge amount of money that the TCA is getting, how far it will utilize it it's under a big question.

Not only in Tripura but selection of players have become rather a dirty politics un-abided by rules and regulations everywhere.However, the Chief Minister has asked the children to continue study with full dedication and 'not to get pass only with 30 %' marks with the excuse of sports.

But the tender for construction of 2 years has been given to none other than but to the Nagarjuna construction company which is also making the Flyover on Agartala.

This Hyderabad based company was not only blacklisted but it was many times alleged for negligence, low quality work.

CM said, "Profit will be definitely made but also look after the quality of the ground".

However, on August 7 the Ceremonial Puja was offered at Narsingarh Polytechnic field. On that occasion President of Tripura Cricket association, Ranjit Kumar Majumder, local manager of Nagarjuna Construction Company remained present.  On behalf of the construction company a priest has been hired from Delhi who did this Puja. With the span of Rs 181 crore this international level stadium will be built in 2 years as after the foundation stone inauguration, Nagarjuna Company will start their work.

CPI-M Govt awarded Rs 181 crores International Stadium project to Hyderabad based Nagarjuna Construction Company (NCC) which was blacklisted by Pondicherry Govt in 2012 for indulging into massive irregularities which was unearthed by the Anti¬Corruption Branch of CBI in Chennai.
