Recently, CWG have hogged the limelight for a variety of reasons. The former sports minister himself acknowledges the fact that a lot of money which could have been otherwise used for other important avenues has been spent wastefully on these games. But the question myself and a lot of other Indians ask is, " Is investing thousands of crores of rupees in sporting events that bad? Then why do countries fight for hosting such events? Are their any benefits?". Luckily I have a come across an article in The Times of India which gives us a decent explanation to the questions posed.
By reading this article it is clear that hosting CWG is not necessarily bad but, it is the planning which we lack that made it into a fiasco that is.
