Kolkata, 23/11: India would have won the cricket World Cup if the final match was played in Kolkata or Mumbai, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed on Thursday.
Addressing party workers at the Netaji Indoor Stadium here, she alleged that attempts were being to ‘saffronise’ the country’s cricket team. “They are trying to paint the entire country saffron. We are proud of our Indian players, and I believe that that we would have won the World Cup if the finals had taken place in Kolkata or Wankhede (in Mumbai),” she said.
