New Delhi : As serious doubts are being raised on India?s capability to host a successful Commonwealth Games (CWG) from early next month, the country?s principle Opposition party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Wednesday slammed the government for the current state-of-affairs in the preparations for the Games.
Alleging that the government is unconcerned about the situation, BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu said, ?National prestige is involved but the government is unmoved.?
He pointed that as many as 26 corruption cases are being probed.
The CWG is being plagued by a host of controversies, ranging from corruption charges to incomplete or sub-standard work.
A day after a footbridge collapsed outside the main CWG venue, the false ceiling of the weightlifting venue caved in on Wednesday.
Several leading athletes have already pulled out of the Games, though the organizers are putting up a brave front and claiming that the Games will be on time and in a grand manner.
