India shining ?!

Since last couple of weeks, enough brouhaha has been created over CWG disaster which has caused HUGE embarrassment to the nation world over. With ruling party suddenly waking up to this sad debacle and the PMO creating pressures for the damage control in this entire tamasha, the scene has now taken interesting turn!

As I write this, media is abuzz with appalling stories from CWG village. Though we have been witnessing the drama since last couple of days, every additional negative news report about CWG  and the shameless statements, blame games, accusations and claims being made by politicians and the concerned officials, is making me numb. Honestly, I feel sick to the core and very angry.

We had seven years to prepare for this event and the end result is a complete disaster that poses several uncomfortable questions. Since the day of being granted the opportunity to host this mega event, how much money has been spent for this in all these years? How do we justify that amount to the tax payers of the country? How many people involved in this event are equipped with expertise to understand the scale of preparation and execute it?  The way CWG has been handled so far, very clearly indicates callousness and complete lack of credibility. Who do we count responsible for this chaos? Isn't it a collective failure of the ruling party, the corrupt organization committee and the civic administration and its officials?

The saddest part in this entire flop show is that despite having ample of time, world class expertise and manpower in our country we have failed to deliver due to government's late intervention in this issue ( I fail to understand its compulsions ) and corrupt politicians who lack any accountability.

The CWG will take place shortly and after its completion, huge amount of tax payer's money again would be spent cleaning the tarnished image of the ruling party. Media, by then would find some other issue to create a ruckus. We, the taxpaying citizens, would be too tired with sheer helplessness and shame and carry on with our daily grind no matter how sad we feel about the CWG disaster!

All I wish, as of now is some divine intervention to let this event take place successfully without any further embarrassment. They say there is power in prayer. Will you pray with me for this please? I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
