IPL may have spent 55 Crores on the event but they created quite a stir and dosplayed a tremendous show of their organizational prowess and skills. IPL-2 was an unabashed success and no one can deny it...and mind you, the shift of the tournament from India to SA happenned in all of 30 days...and it was organized without any support from the Govt agencies!!
Compare this to upcoming Delhi CWG - an event which was finalized eight years back, commanded full govt backing and a lavish budget of over 3500 Crores...and what have they done. It is an exemplary display of loot of public money, gross mismanagement and utter lack of organizational skills.
This is a nice way of judging the organizational capability of Lalit Modi and his hand-picked team and just the lack of it by Congress MP, Suresh Kalmadi and his team.

This make me think, how much our country would have progressed if we have outsource the governance to the Tata,Infosys,Wipro with stringent SLA (service level agreement)
whaever was spent was earned and not looted. Imagine the kind of image it projected of the tournament. 55 crores is not a huge sum. Even one 3BHK flat in delhi/ Mumbai is more than a crore.
It seems this is a paid article.focus on important issues like inflation, floods etc

Well said. Can't understand why anybody should bother when it is not paid from tax payer money. It seems our rediff journalist's thinking is as shallow as IPL.
