Minister says Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010 will be World’s best yet – Do you agree? [Poll]

I just came across the interview given by Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, the President of the IOA. The man who is heading the organization of this event. Hosting of  Commonwealth games has been marred by controversies, especially due to the amount that has been spent for this event and also the constant delays in bringing up the Infrastructure.

Brushing all the controversies aside, Mr. Suresh Kalmadi has gone ahead and said that these Commonwealth Games will be the best world has ever seen, infact, would be even better than the Olympics village at Beijing. Here is the Verbatim transcript of what he has said
.As chairman of the organizing committee and President of the IOA, the buck stops with him, a veteran sports administrator with over three decades of experience Suresh Kalmadi is extremely confident with just over two months to go for the mega event.

Just 80 days to go for the Games. How confident are you?

Very confident. It will be the best Commonwealth Games ever. I have been saying this for a long time and I am saying it again. We have the best Games village in the world, perhaps better than the Olympics village at Beijing and the stadiums are truly world class. All planning is on track and we are making sure everything will be ready on time.

Certain things are still not ready. Are you concerned?

We know what we need to do to be ready. These things always happen before such mega events and there is no reason for panic. It is our promise that CWG 2010 will be a success.

Is it an opportunity for us to finally become a serious sporting nation?

Absolutely. The government has been generous in offering us money for athletes' training and we are doing our best to give our sports persons the best of facilities. The prime minister has always been there to help, as have been the members of the union cabinet and the chief minister of Delhi. I am delighted for the kind of support we have received and continue to receive.
