BRS Leader Demands Probe on SCCL Messi Event Sponsorship
A leader from the BRS party in India wants the government to investigate a big company called SCCL.
The company spent a lot of money (Rs 110 crore) to sponsor a football match with a famous player, Lionel Messi.
The leader, T. Harish Rao, thinks this was a bad idea because the company is having money problems.
He also said that other companies owe SCCL a lot of money (Rs 42,000 crore), which is making things worse.
If his party comes back to power, he promises to look into this and take action against those responsible.
