"Speaking at a news conference in Delhi, Lalit Bhanot, secretary general of the Delhi organising committee, said the authorities understood the concerns shown by some member countries and the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF). But he suggested that the complaints could be due to "cultural differences". "Everyone has different standards about cleanliness. The Westerners have different standards, we have different standards," he said." :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

So does he has human excreta scattered around in his home and does he too pees in the open, in public like one of the OC officials who was caught doing in the Games village by foreigners and pictures promptly taken?

I hope people file PILs in court against the organisers & GOI for wasting public money and bringing the disrepute to the Nation.

[Desi Cartman]

I like how the GOI/ GO delhi and Gandhi parivaar has distanced itself from the whole mess. :isalute:

[Gunner_Mania]

I was watching a skynews clip about this.Couldn't bring myself to watch after a few seconds. It is just embarassing. I hope the F1 doesnt turn into a similar fiasco next year.

[maggot_brain]

This exposes us for exactly what we as a people are. Corrupt, greedy, and trying to get things done on the cheap. This whole thing is a disgrace. I am ashamed to be an Indian. We are nowhere near a developed or a even a rising nation. Stop dreaming folks. I feel sick to my stomach.

[Manny_Pacquiao]

what a disgraceful moment for india. i wish we never had the chance to host something like the CWG. the money that could have been spent building state of the art facilities is probably being funneled into the bank accounts of the scumbag politicians and olympic administrators. and these ******** haramkhors had the nerve to say that it would be better than beijing 2008. please, just end the CWG right now on a related note, i hope they cancel the F1 track in noida too. i am sure the bastards will find a way to **** it up, they will probably start construction 2 days before the race is scheduled to begin.

wow

[Texy]

where is that article reporting India no. 3 in power chart around the world :haha: We are 100 yrs behind China and will never be able to even come close with this kinda attitude, greed, corruption, lack of professionalism and lack of work ethics. Even Indonesia and Malaysia are far ahead of us. India is a prime example of how bureaucrats/politicians can destroy a democracy anyone can bomb and shoot anyone on the street....no laws...no one to enforce...bas aisa chalta hai attitude.....obv the athletes will pull out.... this is disgraceful

Aus TV channel sting totally bogus: Delhi Police The Delhi [ Images ] Police on Tuesday termed as "totally bogus, motivated and deliberately planted" a sting operation carried out by an Australian television channel claiming that there was a security breach at the main Commonwealth Games venue of Jawahar Lal Nehru stadium. Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said the sting operation was "totally bogus and incorrect" and the reporter was trying to create a false impression of security breach by walking from barricades placed on the main road near the stadium, which were only meant to divert vehicles. He said the spot was far away from the main entry gate of the Jawahar Lal Nehru stadium from where the actual manual checking of those entering the venue is done. "Such a sting operation seems to be motivated and deliberately planted in which the reporter does not even know that ammonium nitrate is a fertiliser and a known prohibited item for sale in India [ Images ]," Bhagat said. "At this stage, the reporter had not reached up to the checking point," he said, adding, there is no security lock- down at the stadium. The reporter was detected at the perimeter where the security checks begin. Security will be bolstered with additional deployments after complete lock down, he said. In a 'lock-down', the entire venue is completely sanitised by security agencies and is sealed after a thorough check of each room available. The only time when the seals will be taken off is when the Commonwealth Games officials or players will enter these areas. An Australian TV channel has claimed that its crew got past security personnel and entered the Commonwealth Games village with crude explosives bought in New Delhi a few days ago. Channel 7 journalist Mike Duffy claimed that he walked into one of the Games venues with a case of explosive which could have triggered explosions if fitted with a detonator. The video footage put up on a website 3news.co.nz showed Duffy secretly filming the purchase of the case from the boot of a car in New Delhi. The video also showed how Duffy was even given a demonstration by the vendors.
