The Common Wealth games was awarded to India in 2003.Only two months remain for the Games to open and the Games authorities have yet to arrange for the infrastucture associated with it.Some of the infrastucture that was unveiled(leaked??)before the Media could barely stand its Ground and the Ceilings gave in to the monsoon fury leaking like hell.
The Politicians many of whom have assumed the top posts in Various Sports bodies in India viz.(Sharad Pawar-ICC Chief,Suresh Kalmadi-President Indian Olympic Association since ages...,Laloo Yadav-President of Bihar Cricket Association,Narendra Modi-President of Gujarat Cricket Association etc to name a few)have neither any knowledge nor have any liking for the game they so represent.
It is only the Money associated with it which beckons them to this Coveted Post.
Mr M S Gill who vehementely opposed one of the most Upright & Honest Chief Election Commissioner TN SHESHAN(Readers may recollect that Mr Sheshan was unjustly removed from the post and Gill reinstated in his place,as his reforms to cleanse the election malpractices proved to be a thorn in the flesh for many Politicians)is now the Sports minister and hobnobbing with the most tainted politicians in New Delhi was seen unabashedly defending the delay in completion of the Various Stadiums and denying any money laundering by the bigwigs associated with the Games.
It seems that Kalmadi & co did not Share the ''booty'' with Mani Shankar Iyer who promptly issued a Statement that he will be the happiest Person On Earth if the Games Fail.
The Media must be applauded for its sincere efforts in exposing the politicians-Sports nexus which has ultimately forced the Indian Govt not to BID for he ASIAN GAMES scheduled to be held in 2019.May be a bigger Planning was in the Pipeline keeping in mind the Billions that was to be Spent for the ASIAD.
What the Poor Politicians fail to understand is that the games showcase our Country and its Vast ''CULTURE'' but unfortunately their 'VULTURE'' instincts rips off the rich & cultural traditions associated with our great Country.
Kalmadi & Co might be ruing the fact that if they had shared the booty ''COMMONLY''& not accumulated the ''WEALTH''amongst a coveted few then this scandal would probably never had come to light.
