With just two months left for the sporting extravaganza called the Commonwealth Games to begin in New Delhi, the air has been thick with allegations of corruption at all levels of functioning of the Suresh Kalmadi-led Organising Committee. As many of the ‘state-of-the-art’ stadia built for the Games leak like sieves during this monsoon season, leaks of a different kind the media have been reporting suggest that it has been an open-sesame to loot for the organisers of the Games. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports wants Kalmadi’s right hand man and deputy director-general Sanjay Mohindroo, who had been caught with a `25-lakh diamond-studded ring deep in his pocket while flying back from London, summarily sacked.

It is a measure of the cloak and dagger manner in which Kalmadi, nicknamed ‘Calamity’, has been controlling affairs that the ministry did not even know that Mohindroo had quit ‘two-three months ago’. While it is not known why Mohindroo resigned and why the resignation was kept under wraps, the discomforting fact is that he had taken an advance of `94.15 lakh in foreign currency for his team’s visit to London. It now transpires that the e-mail Kalmadi showed to prove that the dubious British firm ‘AM Car and Van’ was engaged for the Queen’s Baton Relay at the suggestion of the Indian High Commission in London was fraudulent. Obviously, there was a kickback when the company was given an advance of `1.81 crore in pound sterling.

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has also detailed some other fraudulent practices indulged in by the Organising Committee like inflating the revenue the Games could rake in. Even as newly-built pavements cave in, buildings remain nowhere near completion and the beautification work goes awry comes the report that `740 crore earmarked for Scheduled Caste/Tribe welfare has been used for Games-related infrastructure work. Worse, experts who have tested some of the new stadia are unanimous that the workmanship employed is poor and they would not last long. Is it any wonder that many sporting stars, including our own, are opting out of the Games? All this has dented India’s image and, yet, the UPA government is not ready to strike at Kalmadi on the specious plea that he is there in his capacity as Indian Olympic Association president. What it does not recognise is that the money he and company have been looting is not that of the IOA but of the people of India.

So users, please post your views about this matter....

If we want to show any character.
FORGET EVERYTHING ELSE and FIRST and FOREMOST BRING the guilty to book.
GAMES OR NO GAMES.
IN any case there never was or is, any concern for games or sports-persons, is amply loud and clearly reflected by CW GAMES Organisor's in there actions up to date.
Nothing new, looting is common for politicians. who is dharma raj in govt.  All most 100% of politicians in UPA govt. all together looting india left to right.  Govt. itself is big looter then at what capacity it can question kalmadi.  There is only one rule in india, money prevails on every thing.  If you have money u can do any thing in india right from purchasing of justice too.  we have to Blame our dirty constitution framed at independence for all this stuff.  In Andhra pradesh almost all TV channels are broad casting about MP Jagans scam in bharati cements to the tune of 5000 crores with proofs, till now there is no action why all of the above and below or corrupted. corrupted india has to be saved by god only. Because no gandhi will born again if born he cannot survive for fighting against corruptible s compared our politicians are worse than Britishers.

Bharat ka ye durbhagyaa hi kaha jaye ki aadikaal se hi Bharat ko loota jaa raha hai.. Bas antar yahi hai ke pehale bahar ke log aakar loota karte the ab yahi ke log loot rahe hai... Aur isse bada durbhagyaa ye hai ke yaha ki janta us waqt se aaj tak bas muk darshak bani bas tamasha dekhati rehti hai... Chalo us waqt to jyaada educated nahi the but aaj to hai, fir bhi kisi ki himmat nahi hai ki aawaz uthaye.. Aur jo inke khilaaf aawaz uthata hai wo maar diya jata hai.. Ab sawal ye hai ke hum kab tak yun hi dekhate rahenge ? Kya hum eksaath milkar, ekaawaz bankar is loot ke khilaaf koi kadam uthayenge ?

Why should Sportsmen suffer because of all this ?  In fact this should work as an Eye Opener for the Government & People by large. Lets hope positive face saving measures are taken & AAL IS WELL, at the end of this drama.

These type of happenings where the pride of country is directly involved...no chance of interpretation or misinterpretation as in case of mis-use of flag...do start making me analyse my pride on my country. Of what use our heritage culture is to us?

One side we have to be proud of Indian and other side we have to feel the shame in connection with all types of corruptions, kick backs, and scandals, misappropriation of public funds. Despite coming to the light,or red-handed whether this has been stopped in our country. It will be continuing..... this is the fate of our country... According to Bernadshaw, politics is the last resort for .........

Thanks Mr.Ayan for the referral.

Let us first try to make the event a grand success as it is related with the prestige of the nation. As most of the works taken up hastily and time period is short, some mistakes may occur. Punish those who made intentional mistakes.

It all shows that these events are for merely sharing the funds at higher echelons & seems no checks working over. Bigwigs make it a point to swindle as much as possible. "Make the hay while the sun shines" - a by word for organizers.No honesty or integrity works over there, just colluding hands with people is the only criteria for being a member  of the committee.

We all should demand to pay only 20% of taxes that we have to pay,,,,& say the Fin Min that we are not ready to pay the rest as the Govt is going to spend only that much for public,,,,,we are not ready to inflate coffers of such brazen, shameless & corrupt officials/politicians.  
And if at all funds are necessary; govt can borrow from Swiss banks....after all thats their own money....
All this happened at the time of Asiad'82. But the ruling party was able to keep under wraps all economic manipulations. At that time cong was in power. But the chief was different. Her credentials in every type of manipulation were very high. Games resulted in price rise and inflation. This time around the same things are happening. The difference is media. At that time the media was not so aggresive.

This is game of money loot. India may not shine.... but organisor bank balance will shine for sure.
We should bring back everyoen from this loot to justice including responsible ministers. It is not their earned money. This is our money.

Why CWG should be an exception. We are on the right track now to replace Somalia from the top slot of Failed Nations. We have made some progress this year that is our ranking has moved forward to 79 from 87 last year (Somalia No. 1 and Norway 177). May be after CWG we will improve to 50's. Better if all the brains and honest migrates to less populated countries. Then will reach the top slot fast to replace Somalia

Why!! Test cricket is the best form of cricket and that tests the real power of a player. We should not get lost in glamor and forget the roots should we??
BJP too is forcing him to resign but he is seeking legal options to stay in. No one wants him, everyone knows how corrupt he is still he is not willing to leave! what should this attitude be called? Do you think he will resign at will ?
Yes it can be called inside information from a blog. We cannot the understand the real feeling without facing a similar situation.
