CWG will be better than Beijing Olympics: Kalmadi

[CardSharp]

No flames, just thought it was funny coming from Kalmadi

Gurgaon: Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (CWG OC) Chairman Suresh Kalmadi on Saturday said the upcoming CWG even would be better than the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Kalmadi said this during "Swagatham" ceremony held to unveil the CWG theme song in Gurgaon. The song - 'Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto'- is composed by A R Rahman.

"It is going to be the best infrastructure in the world. It is going to have the best games; better than the Beijing Olympics," Kalmadi said.

On the preparations for the Games, Kalmadi said that everybody is working hard to ensure that the CWG event becomes a success.
"We promised that we will give you great games and we have to live up to that promise. Let there be no doubt about it. Everybody is working like a team - team India," Kalmadi added.

Also present at the ceremony were Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Haryana Chief Minister Bhupender Singh Hooda.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has ticked off Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit over her remarks that there could be more CWG delays.

While speaking to Karan Thapar on CNN-IBN's show Devil's Advocate, Dikshit had said that rain may further delay the clearing of the construction debris.

"We are working round the clock. The moment rain stops, they (labourers) will start their work... I would not hope for a postponement. I am confident we will give you good Games," Dikshit told Karan Thapar.

Minister of State in the PMO Prithviraj Chavan reminded Dikshit that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh himself is monitoring the progress of the Games.

"We all hope that CWG happen on time. It's a matter of national pride and this is the largest project, we have undertaken, and the Prime Minister is himself monitoring the progress of the Games," Chavan said.

Over 20 agencies are involved in the city's beautification and Games-related projects, often working without coordination. This led to setting up of the Group of Ministers and other mechanisms to speed up the work for the October 3-14 Games.

I'm not sure about it being better than Beijing 2008 but I'm sure it will be impressive. Like Beijing it will be India's coming out party.

It sure is funny man, this guy is soooo corrupt, he represents the failures of our nation, his record goes back decades and still he's in power

I just hope the games go on well and leave a good picture of india in everyone's mind. Don't think beating Beijing should even be the idea behind the games. Don't take what this idiot says seriously.

Games village better than one in Beijing: Kalmadi

New Delhi: In the face of growing pressure and criticism on the issue of completion of stadiums and other infrastructure in time for the Commonwealth Games, scheduled to begin from the 3rd of October, Organising Committee chief, Suresh Kalmadi continues to be extremely confident about the preparations.

In a conversation with NDTV, Kalmadi claimed that the Games village "is the best in the world and is even better than the one in the 2008 Beijing Olympics".

"All the stadiums are one of the finest in the world and athletes will really enjoy themselves here", he added.

The deadline for the handover of the stadiums is scheduled for August 1 and with many facilities yet to be made fully functional and a lot of work still left, saving the country from getting embarrassed in front of the world looks to be a tall order for Suresh Kalmadi and company.
