So this is common wealth for the privileged few in Delhi! We thought the Games were for the entire country! I am deeply aggrieved and angry. Where has my money gone, the money that I earn so painstakingly and pay my taxes religiously at the end of the year? Why should I pay taxes to Government of India, when the money is being siphoned off to fill private coffer. Why should I pay money to improve infrastructure in Delhi. Let Delhites pay for it. I wonder, if the entire effort to host the Games was an alibi to take out public money and channel it for individual benefit! Conspiracy theory! Think twice. I am dismayed at the audacity and brazenness with which the politicians and bureaucrats have treated the issue so far. Their words have proved the degree of disrespect that they have for the people. Who is the leader who will stand up and own responsibility and when? We do not want accountability. We want an impartial enquiry into the whole issue and we want the money back to the treasury. Organising Committee – You may deduct the actual amount spent on the mess that you created. The country is already in shame. We do not want to sing the patriotic chorus now. Please do not force these gimmicks on us. It is filthy and we know it.

" Why should I pay taxes to Government of India, when the money is being siphoned off to fill private coffer".
Oh, that balderdash! When you were getting subsidized petrol/diesel for your car, did you ask why the taxes of people who don't own a vehicle be used to subsidize your bills? Who pays the salary of the govt servants? The money to those army men dying in Kashmir? Or those fighting Maoists?
If there is one thing I can't stand, it is this "my taxes" cry of the novae middle class! Tries everything in book to save taxes and then pays grudgingly when everything else fails. Then believe that his 2000 has earned him some high powers! I would understand if all these criticism came after the games. But now, taking potshots and asking about your 2000 is cheap, at the time of crisis!

ur feelings r appreciable...without any compuction or regret they hv spent this huge sum of money; just imagine how many hospitals cud hv been built up n by building these hospitals how many lives cud hv been saved....or we may say how many lives hv been lost by not building these because of this spending of money on one city of India in some other areas....just ponder dude.. amount spent so far revealed is of the order of some 40000/-crores..God save us let it not b the tip of any iceberg...as question comes up now from where 40000 did come ...is it from wreckless disinvestment of public sectors or is it the surreptious service tax being slapped on public or is it unmindful borrowings ....which are the other areas where frittering of money is taking place without our knowing about it....
I am repeatedly asking question to myself, what this Prime Minister was doing all along? Shaking hand with former President Bush or President Obama and protecting obnoxious man like Kalmadi won't help us in tackling our problem.

Providing five star luxuries to a few westerners when half of our citizens dont get clean water will solve your problem?
The first venow that spewed out of this columnist's pen was against, yes, the BJP! Let me see, when were they last in power?!? Oh, way back in 2004! No, COngress is not the culprit- sheesh- it has a lovable man with integrity as PM, and a wonderful westerner as super PM. Well, after the bias this gu showed, there was no point reading the rest of the article. No sir, the conress has not ruined and looted this country- never; instead it is the war-mongering right-wingers who have ruined the country and the games. This guy should write fiction for some tabloid.

Well, when the fact that TWO years were wasted under NDA, you didn't take that very well! It spoiled the fun of COngress bashing, didn't it?

NDA Govt conceptualised Golden Quadrilateral project, Designed and started successful implimentation of that massive project within five years of its rule. Every one can see the fast pace NDA executed the project and how slow it has become now under UPA 1 and UPA 2. Had NDA been in power all this infrastructure would have been ready well in time. Congress Govts always have very poor record of developing infrastructure, Be in Digvijay Singh who totally messed up Power and Roads in MP or Maharashtra where it was BJP Sena Govt that announced and started many Fly over and Express way projects. Now, atheletes will win medals due to their hardwork and also due to the fact that many big names are not coming, Mr Kalmadi and his gang of looters will call games a success !!

Yeah right! Coz you say so, we believe you! I guess the people saw how fast NDA was and didn't like the speed!
CWG current situation is only showing level of corruption we have acheived.If this kind of game of this level of corruption then we can simply assume about other projects running all over indi.
IF Gujarat would have been given the honour of hosting it. Narendra Modi did that with Nano Project. He has made Gujarat the most prosperous state in India. the duties and taxes paid by gujarat is enjoyed by entire India
