Delhi CM appeals to BJP to make CWG a success

     Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Monday appealed to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders not to make things worse, but rather join hands with the Government to make the 2010 Commonwealth Games a success. "Don't do this, otherwise Commonwealth Games will appear to collapse. I am requesting you with folded hands not to do this," said Dikshit here in the Assembly today. The Chief Minister's request came following issues raised by Leader of Opposition Vijay Kumar Malhotra over the issue of roads caving in and widespread water logging across the city following rains. "It appears now that no projects will be completed within the final deadline of August 31. Several areas in the city are facing flood-like situation because of incessant rains," said Malhotra holding the civic agencies responsible for carrying out widespread digging, which is resulting in accumulation of concrete waste. "The national capital will have to face embarrassment during sporting event," he added, accusing the Government of not taking the dengue menace seriously. Dikshit, however, said 25-35 percent of the cases have come from outside Delhi and the total dengue cases were not very worrying compared to the city's total population. Earlier on Sunday, Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said that the dug up roads and unfinished work at the Commonwealth Games project sites were the breeding ground for mosquitoes and leading to the outbreak of the disease in the capital. The 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi is being touted as the biggest international sporting event to be hosted by India since the 1982 Delhi Asian Games. Its success is being seen as the first step for India to bid for bigger events.
