Will it be a fiasco? CWG

Going by the current news on financial irregularities in commonwealth games, unprepared stadium, construction debris all over Delhi, it pretty much seems it will be fiasco. Well its all the mentality of our politicians, organisers even ordinary man in Delhi have same level thought and commitment to our country. We all tend to do things in the eleventh hour. Since the announcement of Delhi hosting the CWG till today our politicians and organisers who boast of getting the games to Delhi have actually been procrastinating well., 2 months months left Chief minister of Delhi says by august end everything will be done and finishing touches will provided by september. But to see the state of affairs of incomplete work is untenable.Let me tell you about Shiela Dixshit, when at closing ceremony at Melbourne in 2006 she was presented with the Commonwelath games Flag, she just hugged the flag and placed it with her heart. I thought i was watching that, its a proud moment and we have four years to prepare ourself to show the world truly global games. I think she must have felt the same after receiving the flag. But time passes very fast, 4 years on, every body knows what the deep trouble they all are in. Now these days she has become active in moving about delhi , see the pace of development. But with every rain we see water logged streets and jams. She blames MCD for that, MCD blames their luck. Recently she was in a function on the ocassion of a private bank opening their branches in Delhi NCR. I hoped she gone out on streets to actually see jams and debris all over.
Also she announced that by the end of august the contractor fails to complete the work will be blacklisted.
well well, what about incomplete flyovers tkaen up by PWD. what about NDMC who have on record in a newspaper said they will miss the deadline not of august but not before games  to complete underground service channel, 8 new subways and air conditioning plant in Connaught Place. Blacklist NDMC for that they have already missed June deadline causing traders in the area to incur losses due to digging of roads and pavements.

Now i wish these Commonwealth Games had not been awarded to India. At least people outside would not see our corrupt way of life and doing things.
