Commonwealth Games, 2010: A total mess!!

The day Indian markets hit psychological barriers at sensex and turning out to be the star performer in the global market, with Indian indices outpacing almost all the leading equity indices of the world and one more time roared to be one of the aspiring supreme economies of the world, same day in front of whole world India got insulted after an under-construction foot over bridge got collapsed outside the Jawaharlal Neheru Statdium, the main venue of the Commonwealth Games by injuring 26 innocent laborers. What a shame!! Because of some morons and their shameless vested interest, our nation today is looked down by other nations. One after other shocking news is coming and the whole world is observing us so neatly that inch of mismanagement also can be revealed, and then we are demonstrating our pathetic management in Commonwealth Games, 2010. The abysmal preparation of CWG is unwatchable and over enthusiast also will think twice before betting on the fate of CWG, 2010. Just 10 days before the games kick off what we see is just unimaginable. We thought to organize this game in order to showcase our great economy and management style; but in reality what we ended up with is simply mockery of ourselves. Just think, did we really need this? Had we not enough reasons to be embarrassed globally? Did we really need to be ridiculing ourselves in front of the international media? I guess no, when 33% of the population is below poverty line, where people are struggling to get four square meals in a day, where children are going to work as labors instead of going school, there spending the whooping budget on organizing a game is just ‘the fad of an aberrant son of a rich father’. Day before yesterday foot over bridge got collapsed; yesterday tiles of the false ceiling also came out, the sanitation of the games village is so poor that Australia has hired professional housekeeping service to clean the flats, the stadiums which were certified as waterproof now are experiencing of leaking water to the stadium after the flood of Delhi, other countries are now threatening to pull their name out of events or they will keep their athletes in the hotels. What a shame! Shame! Shame! Utter shame!! I do not see any scope of salvation. What if we could organize a successful game even after this debacle? Will we be able to save our face from corruption & forgery? No!!! Because it is like attending the funeral of a person and expecting him to be alive. It’s all over! Nothing can be done in the funeral! Just participate! But raise the question where did the money vanish? Because it is our money, it’s yours money, it’s my money, it’s the honest taxpayers’ money, we have all the rights to ask the questions in quest of honest answers. The so-called special organizing committee of CWG, 2010 is answerable to us. We are not ready to listen any bizarre explanation of CWG officials anymore. Ms. Dixit is frowning her eyebrows, questioning on patriotism of Indians because they are criticizing country’s poor management. But Ms. Dixit do you know the management rule? They say in management that “inspect what you expect”, which simply means if you expect any result out of anything then monitor it closely. Did your government inspect properly? Did you ask this so-called special organizing committee who had no specialty at all except eating up the money that had been allocated for the games that where the money is going? You cannot shrug off your responsibility after all you are the chief minister of Delhi. What pride are you talking about Ms. Dixit? This pathetic scene is not a matter of pride but its matter of shame. CWG scam is even bigger than the recent scam of IPL and Lalit Modi, just google it and browse internet sites, see how foreigners are writing blogs, giving interviews on recent mayhem. You will come to know why Indians are criticizing! Because it’s their money and if they do not raise their voice now, then the whole world will think that all Indians are corrupted and it will not be a good advertise for Indians in world arena. I will site few examples of expenditures. Here are some, where renovation of Feroz Shah Kotla costs Rs.85 crores, there renovation of JLN stadium costs Rs.961 crores; according to The Economic Times document when Harrods of London can sell exercise machine at Rs. 7 lacs, they are paying rent of Rs.9,75,000 just to hire it (note worthy that on rent, not buy); hiring a chair at Rs.8,378 (take a note just ‘hire’ that too just one); hiring of a refrigerator at Rs.42,202(notice again just ‘hire’ that too just ‘one’);no wonder that expenditure is about to exceed Rs.30,000 crores which is almost 3 times higher than the expected budget given by the central sports minister Mr. Gill in Rajya Sabha. Survey conducted by Times of India shows that 76% Delhiites feel CWG expense unjustified, 54% of younger generation feel that the two weeks of the sports extravanga will adversely affect country’s reputation due to corruption and messy preparation. Still Ms. Dixit would you question on patriotism and pride?
If we analyze the meaning of the word ‘commonwealth’ from dictionary we find ‘welfare of the people’ means greater good for the society, development of the livelihood of the common men, upliftment of the society’s infrastructures, and then if we look at the picture of our so-called Commonwealth Games, we see deprivation from development of common people. Thousands of money is spent on this games, where we need more schools, hospitals, infrastructures, we could have spent on these things; we could have spent on promoting sports, encouraged children to come forward to sports by making playgrounds, giving them healthy appetite. Instead of doing welfare of the common people of the country, we have done crime granting funds to this so-called special organizing committee and letting Mr. Dalbir singh, Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, Mr.Lalit Bhanot to inflate their own bank accounts. And these ‘shameless obnoxious weeds’ of the society are still enjoying life with taxpayers money and giving statement as if they are the most innocent people world could have ever produced. Even after athletes pulling out their name from the events due to security reason Mr. Lalit Bhanot is giving kiddish excuses and statement before media and blaming media for exaggeration of the real fact. What are you Mr. Bhanot? Are you OK? Or you have lost your senses? The world is observing you, show some maturity, and do not ridicule more! Please! You cannot build a house of forgery on the basement of the tears of hundreds of people, bloods of poor laborers; you can deserve only insult and abuse.
After reading this blog some might feel me as the anti-national creature but then I would ask a valid question if I am today is anti-national then the persons who have played with taxpayers’ money what are they? They I guess then criminals!!! Lies can be fabricated as much as somebody wants and spread it as if these were truth but truth cannot be fabricated and manufactured, truth is always bitter and here the truth is very little shine of hope we can see to make CWG 2010 a great success story in the history of games and sports. Forget to compete with the standards of China’s 2008 Olympic or South Africa’s FIFA World Cup 2010, try not to hurt any athlete in jeopardized CWG, 2010.
