“It’s just a footbridge,” Jaipal Reddy, the urban development minister told CNN-IBN. “If you had said to me that this was Nehru Stadium, then that would be something.”


The above is an excerpt from Businessweek.

I have to agree with that chimp of a minister. Besides, nobody died...so why the hulla bulloo :(

No need to be defensive ... committee messed it up. They would not have run away from stage if we were showering praise . After this mess, forget any more international games in India except Cricket.

n it is bad analogy ... Britishers would be ashamed because they ruled India? If at all, they would be proud of the fact that their ancestors could go, invade n rule. Our ancestors allowed that to happen - we should be ashamed not them. Britishers employed Indians to fight Independence. How pathetic that is.

O well ... lets get back to CWG.

It is in such a mess that PM has to go n meet Chairman (Mike Who???). It is shameful may not be for PM personally (someone will say - he does not have shame anyways) but for proud Indians.

After all this hungama - people will forget in a month or two ... media will find some other issue to bitch on. But the Brand India will take beating.

I am feeling ashamed that I am an Indian. Congress thugs let us down.

I am surprised why we are all so upset - havent we all lived in INDIA for some time in our lives? Isnt this the way REAL INDIA works? Why should we behave different just because AUS/CAN/UK/NZ want us to behave that way??

I can bet all will be well on the first day of the games - ofcourse a few more crores will change hands for this 'URGENT' clean up - overnight contracts will be distributed to all friends and family - the total number of millionaires (or billionaires) will increase in 2010 - guys please see the brighter side of all this mess.

Like Pratickm's signature line - there is much more wealth to be made in 'Mess' (destruction) than in construction...;)

Cheer up - the sky is not going to fall.

At least lets applaud :clap: these selfless volunteers who are toiling hard for the success of these games.
