The opening ceremony was attracted the whole world and mesmerized them. None – for that matter – Indians – ourselves did not expect.
The pre-games concerns were
· Stadiums were not ready till last moment
· Security is a concern.
· Infrastructure of Delhi is not complete
· Residential villages are not ready
· Sanity is a big issue
· Too much crowd
· Corruption surfaced at many levels.
· CWG chairman was a critic of India at all levels and at all forums.
· Kalmadi was targeted and became a big joker across the nation within the congress itself.
But now the scenario on 14th October is as follows
· India and Indians can do it
· Superb Stadiums and residential facilities provided
· Great affection
· Safety and security ensured.
· Grand Gala celebrations of both opening and closing ceremony
· Stood at 2nd spot with 38 Gold medals the highest standing since CWG inception
Now what next?
· We spent 30,000 crores and Government would have hardly got 500 crores
· But the dragged revenue for Indian companies a lot in the form of revenues because of development of infra structure development, publicity, marketing
· Are we ready for Olympics – it is too early
· We will be able to host many such games – but it will be too much burden for a nation like us
· We can conduct profitable oriented games
But overall a Very Good Job done By India and Indians.
See you at Glasgow 2014
