In order to project dilli as a world class city to the games tourist and ensure faster transportation,apart from the road beautification and landscaping scams, a thick yellow line is being drawn on the roads, earmarking that wide lane only for the commonwealth vehicles. Further, it is being mooted to impose Rs. 2000/- on the common man vehicle whcih infiltrates that games lane. As it is, under the garb of arranging the games, crores of public money has gone into drain and now a direct penalty is sought to be imposed on the common man.
Apparently, the central government has pitched in and a review committee has been formed to look into the scams and pace. However, it has been decided not to punish the scamsters and it has been promised that after the conclusion of the games, a full scale probe shall be undertaken and that punishment shall be severe and exemplary. Two months time affords enough time to arrive at peaceful division of the booty; few heads would roll as token measure and self-praise of the games will roll out. Public memory is too short and by the end of the games, everything shall be rolled under the carpet.
Your last sentence hits the nail on the head and says it all.We will just lurch on to the next scandal - I am sure there will be no dearth of them.
