BJP State President Rajeev Chandrasekhar: The controversy surrounding Lionel Messi’s proposed visit to Kerala has taken a new turn, with Congress MP Hibi Eden alleging that the event is part of a dubious business deal involving serious financial irregularities.

He called for a comprehensive probe into the transactions linked to the Kaloor International Stadium renovation project.

Hibi expressed suspicion over the role of sponsor Anto Augustine, who had earlier claimed rights over the stadium, and alleged that illegal tree felling had taken place under the pretext of renovation.
