Even the Supreme Court had remarked that the Commonwealth Gamesproject has spawned unbridled corruption and is meant for public

purpose only till October 14 the closing day of the Games after

which everything will be used for private purpose.

Declaring that the Supreme Court cannot shut its eyes on the rampant

corruption, the court criticized the Central Government on its shoddy

preparations for the international sporting event.

But now the time has come to ask some serious questions over rampant

bungling surrounding the Games.

Globally, the big picture shows India as a major success story. In fact, it is

largely a story of private sector success and government failure. Many Indian

companies have emerged as world class, but government services and

corporations have, with some honourable exceptions, remained ridden with

waste, corruption and callous inefficiency. The Commonwealth Games

accurately mirror this reality. - Swaminathan S. Anklesaria Aiyar

Delhi filthier than before. When money is spent in

massive volumes, the goals are dishonest. They create

gravy trains for Commonwealth crooks. - Ashok Malik

There are different explanations as to why the Government of India spentRs.70,000 crore or more to host the Commonwealth Games (CWG). To the

cynical, it was an incentive package for the countrys burgeoning, public sector -

driven cash and carry economy. To political animals, it was aimed at boosting

the prospects of Sheila Dikshit, the Delhi Chief Minister. - Swapan Das Gupta

The Great Day Light Roberry of 2010

I am not going to harp on about how messed up the Commonwealth Gamesare. Enough has been written. The CWG 2010 is, by far, the biggest and

most blatant, exercise in corruption in independent Indias history. Not only

have they stolen public money, theyve made a mess of the job at hand.

Delhi is dug up and the official anthem (and ringtone) of the Games should

be the never-ending sound of drilling. Chetan Bhagat

Ministry, Delhi Development Authority(DDA) signed agreement with privatecorporate Emmar-MGF under PPP todevelop CWG Village. Under originalagreement the Govt. was supposed to getRs.321 and 389 flats from Emmar-MGF

In the name of urgency a big scam of morethan hundreds of crores took placeamongst the Govt. authorities UrbanDevelopment Ministry, Govt. of India,Delhi State Govt. and Delhi DevelopmentAuthority (DDA).

In the name of Commonwealth Games,the Congress Govt. agreed to purchaseflats from this private company at the rateof Rs.11,000/- per sq.ft.

Three senior Delhi Commonwealth Games officials have been suspended overfinancial irregularities and the case has been handed to the governmentsfinancial anti-corruption watchdog.

Joint Director Generals T.S. Darbari and M. Jeyachandran and Dy. Director General SanjayMohindroo were suspended after a committee submitted its report on alleged charges ofcorruption during last years Queens Baton Relay launch in London

The Sports Ministry has formally asked Kalmadi to dismiss them on the grounds thast theyare linked to two major financial scandals.

An email from Mohindroo showed himdictating taxi rates to a vendor in London who

was hired to provide cars and other servicesduring the Queens Baton Relay function inLondon last year

The vendor in question Ashish Patel and hisfirm, AM Cars have a dubious financialrecord. Instead of asking him for rates,Mohindroo states what fares Patel shouldcharge. 450 pounds a day. Exorbitant even

when compared to hiring a BMW or Mercedeswith a driver in London.

Darbari is ast the centre of a Customs casewhich accuses him of illegally trying to importa ring worth nearly 20 lakhs from Dubai intoKerala. He was also sent to Australia for theQueens Baton Relay there.

The Stadium that we bid for in 2003 at Rs 326 Cr, the total bid was of Rs 1,566 Cr. During the tenure of

then Sports Minister during UPA-I regime, total budget approval received was Rs 3,566 Cr, which is 100 %

more.

What should have been priced at say Rs 1, the price of the same was hiked 10 fold and tenders called for.

The work that should have been done in Rs 1, tenders at the rate of Rs 10 were called for the same. The

Wealth is missing out of these Common Wealth Games.

Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium seating capacity was 73,000, was reduced to 65,000. If this stadium were to be

rebuilt on lines of the modern state of these art stadiums, then the cost has been raised manifold from 90

to 180, then 180 to 270 and from 270 to Rs 300 Cr ! But Rs 961 Crs have been spent on Renovation of JLN.

Only renovation has taken place. The infrastructure was already there since 1982, Synthetic track was to

be laid, Lights were already there, even then one would have considered a expenditure of not more than

say Rs 100 Cr.

Cycling Velodrome was to be made. Events here are mandatory. Velodrome surface was made of Cement !

When people shouted in aghast as to what had been done. Kalmadi knew it is not made of Cement but of

Wood. Then it was made of Wood !

Funding For Civic Infrastructure in Delhi, Central Government / State Government Rs. 770 Cr in May

2007, Rs. 770 Cr in December 2008, Rs 4,720 Cr in May 2009, which means 513 % increase. Besides this,

Overlays and in between Miscellaneous expenses which are not accounted for which are in excess of Rs 10

to Rs 100 Cr.

Almost all the organizations executing works for Common Wealth Games have

considered inadmissible factors to jack-up the reasonable price to justify award of

work at quoted rates citing urgent/emergent circumstances. Despite higher rates

poor site management, delays and quality compromises have been observed.

Thirty items, which were not part of the Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) were

incorporated in the Contract at higher rates after opening in order to increase the

quoted amount to avail the difference of Rs.362,72,229/- between the next higher

quoted amounts without changing the overall status.

Two separate line items for imported & indigenous HPSV fitting of same technical

specification and other performance parameters taken BOQ with wide variation in

rates, i.e. more than three times. No logical reasoning could be given byorganization to go in for imported Luminaries at such exorbitant prices, whereas

the luminaries of same specification, manufactured by the same vendor are also

available at lower prices, which has caused in extra burden of Rs.1.52 crore.

It is criminal that money reserved for the most marginalised sectors of society

under the Scheduled Caste Sub Plan

2009-10 (Special Component Plan), which is already an exceedingly low

percentage of the budget, is diverted for

Commonwealth Games related expenditures.

This information is neither made public, nor are the decision-making

processes that sanction such misuse of public money.

Who authorises such reallocation of funds? Is it legal,constitutional, and

ethical?


52/70

Is the whole cabinet not responsible for cwg chaos & corruption ?

Congress is ruling at the centre and in Delhi & controlling the CWG. Thenwho was Monitoring the Committees ?

Are the Ministries of Urban Development, Sports, Home, Finance,

Tourism, Civil Aviation, and I & B not involved & responsible ?

Did the Dehli Govt not spend more than Rs. 20,000 cores in the name of

CWG ?

Were thousands of crores earmarked for schedule caste and down

trodden not diverted to CWG ?

Can you deny that thanks to the CAG & CTEO(CVC) that your govt was

compelled to enquire into the scam.

Were You, your senior colleagues & GOM not directly monitoring &

supervising the cwg work ?

According to a 2009 report by the Comptroller and Auditor General of

India (CAG), the budget for the Commonwealth Games 2010 underwentseveral revisions.

Originally in May 2003, when the Government of India allowed the Indian Olympic

Association (IOA) to bid for the CWG, an expenditure ofRs. 296 crore was indicated towards

upgradation of sports infrastructure and conduct of the Games, with expenditure on security

and the Games Village to be incurred by the government and Delhi Development Authority(DDA).

The updated Bid Document of December 2003, however, estimated:

Operating expenditure alone at Rs. 635 crore.

Total expenditure (other than Games operating expenses) at Rs. 1,200 crore.

Government grants at Rs. 518 crore.

The first budget for the Games approved by the Cabinet in April 2007 estimated

the total expenditure of the Games at Rs. 3,566 crore Rs. 300 crore.

Several Benami transactions have taken place in CWG

Use of Mauritius Route

Tax havens are used to avoid the actual identity & transparency

Your one time senior colleague & former sports minister has

alleged about corrupt practices & uncalled for expenses of cwg

All these were going on for couple of years & you say you areignorant ?

Ministers, Congress Leaders, Delhi CM are talking about corrupt

officials. What about corrupt Ministers ?

Are you not directly responsible for all this mess ?

Sanctioned additional budget without proper evaluation of

expenditure and estimates, which would have put halt to

corruption.
