Corruption
various quarters for a budget that has quadrupled in the last seven years to a government panting to meet deadlines, not to mention public inconvenience. While the Commonwealth Games haven't even started, many are already looking forward to their end. The country no longer seems to be enjoying its status as the next Games venue, rather, worrying more about how the expenditure will burden a common man's pocket. So, is hosting the event a waste of national money?
Does India really need mega sports events like Commonwealth Games? Why do we allow our corrupt politicians, who also happen to control most of sports federations, to waste taxpayers' money worth thousands of crores on such events in which people hardly have interest? Will Commonwealth Games help Indian sports and sportspersons in the long run? Can a brief event of no major significance at global level help improve image of a large ancient nation like India? Delhi Government is planning to throw out all beggars and poor street vendors to project the capital as a 'world class city'. But can we hide widespread poverty, hunger and illiteracy from the world? And, for how long? Wouldn't it be better if the taxpayers' money was utilised in improving the living standard of millions of poor of Delhi and the rest of India? is it a waste of money or not ? decide urslf by reading this..
