Stadium Renovation Controversy: Allegations of Shady Dealings in Kerala

Congress MP Hibi Eden has raised serious allegations concerning the Kerala government's involvement in the renovation of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, initially planned for a high-profile football match featuring the Argentina team.

Eden voiced concerns following the Argentine Football Association's confirmation that the team would not play in Kerala. He questioned the transparency of the agreements made by the Greater Cochin Development Authority and the lack of technical expertise of Sports Kerala Foundation.

The controversy deepens as there are concerns over unauthorized construction work and the mysterious involvement of a private company. Eden demands a clarification on the stadium's future operations and potential losses after the cancellation of the Argentine team's visit.
