Poverty vs Common Wealth Games

When a multi billionaire like Azim Premji talks of austerity, one has to stop and listen. Premji leads a very simple life. Compared to the ostentatious Indian rich, he is almost a hermit. It seems that he had the gall to question the wisdom of the UPA government hosting the CWG in India when there are a million other pressing needs for that money.
We just posted an article that UPA took an enormous amount of money (more money than A Raja stole) and spent it to prop up sick ventures. The CWG games could have been used for that purpose rather than hurting the gullible investors. We posted another article on this blog about how some money for humanitarian aid was spent on the CWG when poor kids in India are eating clay to fill themselves up.
Now even if the CWG could be justified by some sick and perverted logic, then the money allocated should have been spent on the CWG alone. Now we find out that a lot of that allocated money was stolen by the dalaals involved.
Isn't that a very cruel joke inflicted on the aam janta of India? MS Gill should be ashamed of questioning Mr. Premji's intentions.

MS Gill attacks Azim Premji for his comments on Commonwealth Games:
Premji in a recent article in a leading national daily had said that the thousands of crores of rupees being spent on Games could have been used for building schools and improve infrastructure in the poor parts of the country like Bihar.
Gill was obviously not pleased with what Premji wrote.
