Commonwealth Games

Games with commoners' wealth:
Less than two months are left for Commonwealth Games to be held in India. We’re proud to have the rare opportunity to host such a prestigious event here. But what’s alarming now, we ‘re afraid , our prestige might be at a stake while hosting this mega event. Our preparation for the game as of now is reportedly very poor. Venues are not well prepared. Many stadia need facelift. Water seeps at many places where games would be held. Out of 2700 flats for technicians construction of only 800 has been completed. It gives one an impression about the preparedness of the game. Preparation for this mammoth event was scheduled to start in 2008 but it actually started one year later. But what’s baffled many is the mind-boggling corruption that has taken place almost at every step of preparation of the game. Each item purchased or hired for the games has been shown many times higher than its actual value. For example, balloons worth Rs.38 cores have been purchased. Prices of all items are as inflated as balloons. In other words games of mega corruptions are being played. Now Commonwealth games might mean games of malpractices and corruptions played with commoners’ wealth and in that sense Commonwealth Games Organization Committee can already boast grand success.
