Common (Loot) Games?

This is how our tax money is (mis)used

And right under the nose of all the ruling party elite in Delhi

What a shame!

P.S: In the past five months, the estimated expenditure on the Commonwealth Games (CWG) has increased by over Rs1,000 crore to a whopping Rs11,500 crore, and rising! This is a quantum leap from 2003, when the erstwhile NDA government had bagged the rights to hold CWG for Rs655 crore, and December 2008, when the expenditure was estimated at around Rs7,907 crore. In February, minister for sports MS Gill had estimated the expenditure at Rs10,455 crore.On Thursday, however, he told Rajya Sabha the estimated expenditure had risen to Rs11,494 crore. And the stadiums are incomplete, infrastructure in delhi in shambles and it is a total mess. No one is held responsible as everyone has his hand in the cookie jar. How can an estimate made in 2003 for a 2010 games jump from 655 crores to 11494 crores is beyond ones imgination
