From extravagant to decadent

IAF commandos may guard Delhi during Commonwealth Games

With so many social indicators pointing to the pathetic state of the Indian youth, it is simply undemocratic to spend money on hosting a sporting event when that sum could have been better spent on improving lives.

Spending vast sums on creating infrastructure that will find no use after a few days' event is just criminal, to say the least. And then spending even more on ensuring that the said event is not interrupted by the mischevious is outrageously criminal.

I think it is worthy of sane minded Indians to not encourage such decadent extravagance. Soldiers are better used trying to prevent more grevious acts of violence that disruption of a sporting event.

As PM I can assure you that the focus will shift towards development from entertainment. I would rather see an India with no "world class" athletes but "world class" social indicators.
