The country’s top auditor has pointed out massive wastage of public money in organisation of the October 2010 Commonwealth Games, blaming the loss on poor governance and planning right from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to the office of the Chief Minister of Delhi.
In its audit report made public Friday, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has suggested that mismanagement started from the PMO, which couldn’t ensure sufficient government control over the organisation of the extravaganza and the money spent.
The CAG blamed Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit’s government for ineffective planning and lack of integrated perspective in preparing for the Games that triggered unwarranted delays, which ultimately bled the public exchequer.
“In the model of governance adopted for CWG-2010, authority was dissipated, accountability was diffused and unity of command was not provided for or followed,” the CAG report states.
