The Games, which were held in Delhi in October, 2010 were hit by claims of massive financial irregularities as the budget ballooned to an estimated six billion dollars. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh set up a panel after the Games concluded to investigate graft claims and two other government bodies are also running separate probes.
Corruption 101 - you must at least ensured that the over budgeted projects are on time and meet the standards after you got the $. No cock ups.
Also, this joker even mentioned that the Commonwealth games was better than the Beijing Olympics. That was a political faux pas. And it allowed the media to recompare the 2 events.
Lets see if he gets off scot free.

These Indians will never learn, they have too much pride but too little accomplishments to show for. They'd rather lie, cheat and backstab their way just to achieve their pride, it's almost like an objective ingrained in them from young. I don't know if its the culture or its in their blood.
But having said that, I have to admit that India is fucking lucky to have Manmohan Singh as their Prime Minister. He is pretty solid.

So what if this shit skin has been caught lying? He'll still deny it just like that stupid iraqi disinformation minister.
India policeman 'shoots himself to win award'
23 Mar 2011
A policeman in India has shot himself in an alleged attempt to win a bravery award, officials say.
Mahesh Rajguru, who was on duty outside a politician's house in the northern state of Rajasthan, is recovering from his injuries in hospital.
Mr Rajguru initially said six unidentified men had shot at him outside the house in Jaipur.
But, when questioned further, he told police that he "had shot himself to claim a gallantry award".
Mr Rajguru apparently claimed that the men had shot at him and escaped in a car after the "attack" on Sunday night.
"Senior officials rushed to the spot and found his statements and crime scene suspicious," Additional Commissioner of Jaipur police Arun Macya told the Press Trust of India news agency.
"He confessed that no such incident which he had narrated took place and he shot himself just to claim a gallantry award by showing bravery."
In his initial statement to the police quoted by The Times of India newspaper, Mr Rajguru claimed the men "started firing as soon as they spotted me".
"A bullet hit my stomach... When I screamed, they ran outside and again opened fire while getting into a car parked outside. Two more bullets hit my shoulders."
Reports said the empty cartridges found at the site of the incident belonged to Mr Rajguru's gun.

CWG Scam: Kalmadi asks why just me?

Chief Organiser of the New Delhi Commonwealth Games, Suresh Kalmadi : Why just me?
Suresh Kalmadi gestures as he leaves The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Office in New Delhi on March 15, 2011. Suspended Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi was today questioned by the CBI for the second time in connection with alleged scams related to the conduct of the sporting extravaganza which took place in the Indian capital in October 2010.
NEW DELHI: Suresh Kalmadi, the sacked chairman of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee, was subjected to a protracted questioning by CBI on irregularities committed in various spheres related to the Games.
Kalmadi was ushered into the CBI headquarters at around 11 am and remained there till late evening. CBI sources said that Kalmadi was questioned about cases already registered against the OC in the AM Films, AM Cars and Vans and TSR contracts and other aspects of the Games, including merchandising, catering, CWG Village and accreditation. The investigating agency has detected huge irregularities in contracts awarded in all these areas.
"Various questions had remained unanswered. Kalmadi is being grilled on all these issues,'' CBI sources said. His examining is considered crucial for CBI to 'fill in the blanks'.
Coming out of the CBI headquarters, Kalmadi reiterated what he has been maintaining all along - that he was not solely responsible for the decisions taken and that all involved must be questioned.
Kalmadi, who is the Pune Congress MP, had been interrogated on January 5 and confronted with vital evidences on allegations of corruption in various contracts dished out by the OC. Kalmadi had remained on the denial mode all through then. He, subsequently claimed CBI could not find anything incriminating against him.
CBI had on December 24 conducted raids at Kalmadi's residences in the Capital, Pune and Mumbai, besides the OC headquarters. They had sealed lockers installed in his Pune residence, the contents of which were scrutinised later.
"Kalmadi was called by CBI for questioning today that is why he is here,'' his lawyer Hitesh Jain told newspersons. His associates on the Organising Committee, former secretary-general Lalit Bhanot and former director-general VK Verma, have already been arrested in the TSR scam. The CBI has, however, been unable to nail their boss.
The Pune Congress MP has accused CBI of launching a witch-hunt against him and his erstwhile colleagues. "I am surprised why officials of the OC are being called by investigating agencies. No decision was taken by any individual. There was a financial committee, financial sub-committee and executive committee. Central government secretaries were also part of the decision-taking bodies,'' he had said in Ranchi last month. "It was a collective decision of the committees and no individual took any decision, then why officials of OC are only being targeted,'' he had said.
