in the commonwealth games(CWG) only 17 events are held,whereas in asiad 42 games are held, then how come indian govt is advertising that the CWG 2010 is the biggest sporting extravaganza held by india ever. i feel looking to the much higher number of events held in asian games, the asiad 1982 held in delhi is india's biggest. it appears that because of india's affinity for the anglophiles countries participation (england,canada,new zealand, australia etc)the CWG 2010 is being projected such.

they mean to say .... CWG 2010 is the biggest sporting extravaganza in terms of money accumulated and corruption made by the officials...... read the fine print my dear friend..
i wish i had been in delhi this time to know the truth so that i can make my opinion once and for all for media and people who are organizing this CWG. media says work is in complete and will not be finish in time.. CWG people says all is in order.. who is telling the truth? any delhi person will tell the truth please ?one thing i am sure is that preparation is not up to the mark as lots of things were never reported such as traffic control, pollution control, people management, crowd control, security etc?
DoNER bid to project NE in CWG Spl Correspondent NEW DELHI, Aug 16 – The Commonwealth Games may be little more than a month away, but the Ministry for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) is still negotiating with the Organising Committee on showcasing the heritage and culture of the North Eastern Region (NER). The Ministry is in constant touch with the Commonwealth Organising Committee and consultations are being held at various levels, was all Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), Bijoy Krishna Handique said in reply to a question by Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
Rudy wanted to know while the entire country celebrates the biggest ever Games in October, no steps have been taken to showcase the rich heritage and wealth of the North Eastern States.
Handique further said under the media campaign plan of the DoNER ministry, two video clippings showing the NER, as a tourist destination and its rich culture would be telecast on various channels during the period of the Commonwealth Games.
Efforts are being made to exhibit and promote marketing of both traditional and innovative designs, models of handloom and handicrafts products during the Games
