Common Wealth Games-it's almost upon us.Years of wait is almost over.But one question seems to be in everyone's mind-will it bring recognition to our country or will it spoil our image?
It is already the most expensive games ever- even beating the previous host Australia-but how successful it will turn out remains to be seen. Our media has been all over the OC and Suresh Kalmadi over alleged corruption for quite some time now.While it is undeniable that there is huge amount of corruption involved I recently came across an article on the web that shed new light on what's really happening behind those media reports.Well ,regular readers of Times of India would know that they are getting an almost daily dose of this scandal.This article says that as many as 109 articles were published in the newspaper containing some negative news about CWG since January this year.This article alleges that this is mainly because TOI lost a lucrative contract to be the official newspaper of CWG.It shows several letters written by TOI to the CWG OC in this regard.If what this blog claims is indeed true,then it is quite shocking for a commoner like me for it poses a very serious question-whom shall we believe? It seems that in our country there are no white and black elements -all are grey.The person who cries foul in our country only does it if it benifts him.
