CWG known as common wealth games which includes around 73 nations this year, is the third biggest sporting event of any kind after Olympics and Asian games. And this time the games is going to held in Delhi, the capital of India. The reason why I'm mentioning about the CWG in my blog is because it is shameful for me as an indian to say that this time its going to be too messy.
Although the media in india having a very good story line in their main stream, because of the amount of money scam and allegations towards the members of the commitee. Around 300,000 crores of indian rupees is put on the games and nobody is sure about the where they put the money whether to support the games or support themselves. I can say one thingh with proud that we are standing 84th in the corruption ranking and its not a good sign at all. Our neighbours are 134 in the same ranking. We have got almost the same cultural background, so its not a surprise.
Almost none of the venues are completed on the deadline of August 1. And most of the sponsors are pulling back from the event. The multinational companies in Indian soil have got proper resources and proper knowledge to invest money. And they don't invest in something which is not profitable.
IOA president Mr Suresh kalmadi claimed that CWG is going to be better than the Beijing olympics. I hope this will become true. But its impossibly challenging. If it happen to be a mega event, then that will be a huge achievement for the faceof india which is demoralised by the allegations and the counter allegations about money and politics.
I'm sure about one thing, whether it will be successful or not some of them india already had good economic boost because of the Common "wealth " game.
The name is a very identical and synonymous with the problems that arose.
all the best for the games.....
pull it off ..from the gutter....Please...
Mj :o)
