Rs.28000 Cr - Games Expense or Public Funds.

I just happen to read the newspaper and came to light regarding the above mentioned figure spend for Common wealth Games 2010 in Delhi, building new airport terminal infrastructure, wider roads, flyovers & Metro rail extensions, labour cost - sub minimal wages and unsafe conditions.

Is it the human cost to drive the poor out of streets & out of sight ?

I remember the term " Commonwealth " originally meant for public welfare,things that are greater good for society. Do the commonwealth games pass this commonwealth test ? Kalmadi has surely made his money out of this games-for his next election campaign & voters.

We could have used this money for building basic sports facilities in thousand government schools, primary schools, health centers, building roads all over in India and cut some poverty level.

But who is going to listen as everyone is already on the collection sprint, collect more for his future.Even when we celebrate 63rd Independence Day, we are salves in our own world to people who are using all the best resources for their best need.

I or We, alone cannot change the world in one day, needs a massive support !
