Corruption/bribery has rotted India to the core. Even if the games go ahead, we must ensure all the guilty are punished - the private construction companies, the officials who took bribes, etc etc.
If we can turn this National humilation & disgrace, into 'charactor cleansing' with 'zero' tolerance for corruption - we may still gain something from this shambles.

Hopefully this will turn out ok. But doubt anyone will ever be punished. They have probably done far worse then this im sure, and will never have been brought to book for that either.
Re: Canadian Media Labels India as ‘First World Wannabe’
I have to say, this is pretty damn disgusting.
Forget the politicians. Indian workmen are to blame here. I mean, they install new sink and a new toilet, only to spit Gutka in? What kind of retarded labor force does India have?

India bribed 72 nations to get Delhi CWG: Report
India bribed 72 Commonwealth countries $100,000 each to get the hosting rights for the scandal-hit 19th edition of the Games which will start in Delhi from October 3-14, a media report claimed in Melbourne on Thursday. A report in the Daily Telegraph claimed that Delhi pipped Hamilton in
the bid after offering huge sums of money to the 72 Commonwealth countries during the final presentation in Jamaica.
The report also said that Australia received a kickback of $125,000 from India.
“Delhi sealed the right to host the Games when their delegates emerged at the final presentation in Jamaica and offered all 72 nations $100,000 (then about $140,000) each for athlete training schemes if they were the successful bidders,” the newspaper reported.
"The money, subsequently paid to all nations, was not significant to Australia because it had already decided to vote for India and the payment was not an exceptionally large one.
“But for small nations who have minimal interest in the Games, it clinched their vote and India went on to beat Canadian city Hamilton 46-22 in the final poll. Hamilton had offered the nations about $70,000 each,” it said.
At least after bribing so much for hosting rights you should had shown some spine to set up a satisfactory infrastructure especially when huge amount was sanctioned for cwg.

Probably they will scrape through and obviously it wont be anyway near the china olympics standards or even south-africa's football worldcup... Most of the teams will end up staying at hotels and as long as the stadium facilities don't fall apart and kill people games will go ahead.
What will they learn from this...nothing! But its an eye opener for the indian public that 'all iz nat well' as portrayed in their media.
Re: Commonwealth Games 2010,India/ games village unfit for atheletes
There is a news about Mike Fennell, the President of the Commonwealth Games Federation finding improvements in cwg facilities. I think he must have ‘surveyed’ the above mentioned ‘facilities’
Anyways good for india, gora uncle ne thumbs up de diya hai aab tau games will go ahead.

Re: Commonwealth Games 2010,India/ games village unfit for atheletes
Indians are known to give a spin and in the end wolla a vijay, a success which is quite opposite from ground realities.
Don’t believe me, OK wait and see until after this is over.
There is a joke making rounds on the net, an official on TV said the Administrator of the Games was so ashamed of the construction fiasco he tried to commit suicide by hanging himself - but the ceiling collapsed. :rotfl:
