Video Of Mamata Banerjee Dribbling Football At The Launch Of ¡®Khela Hobe¡¯ Programme In Kolkata Goes Viral
At the launch, Banerjee said, ¡°Believe it or not, ¡®Khela Hobe¡¯ has become very popular. We had raised the slogan in Bengal. Now it was raised in Parliament too, and soon, it will be popular across India. In the days to come, there will be ¡®Khela Hobe¡¯ everywhere.¡±
It is a known fact that Bengalis are really fond of football. Most of the Bengalis you meet in West Bengal may be die-hard East Bengal Football Club fans. It is so popular that even politicians in Bengal use it to win hearts for all the votes.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee too has been using this sport as an important part of her election campaigns. Previously, she had announced that there will be special funds to help East India Club into the Indian Super League (IPL).
¡°We had granted Rs 5 lakh each to 25,000 clubs. We have done community development programmes for the upliftment of sporting activities. I believe to take ¡®Khela Hobe¡¯ forward, and we have to take it through sports. We will give one lakh footballs to clubs in districts besides distributing the same to popular clubs such as Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and Mohammedan Sporting Club,¡± said Banerjee while speaking at the event.
Now the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee recently launched the ¡®Khela Hobe¡¯ programme at Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata and she launched this event by dribbling a football.

Now, her party TMC's winning slogan in the months of April-May assembly polls became Khela Hobe which means Game On. The party is using this slogan inside the parliament as well for the 2024 Lok Sabha Polls. So obviously this denotes football. Even when Mamata Banerjee's foot got fractured during a recent election campaign MP's and MLAs put up posters of her fractured foot on a football to show how much the party supports the game.
Previously, Banerjee had announced that the state government would observe August 16 as ¡®Khela Hobe Diwas¡¯ across West Bengal.
