New Delhi: Letters between former Sports Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh reveal that the ministry had alerted the PM about former Commonwealth Games Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi's "excesses" and "dictatorial style of functioning" in 2007 itself.
In one of these letters, accessed under Right to Information Act, the former Sports Minister had said, "Without a drastic overhaul of both the executive and Organizing Committee for the Commonwealth Games, I fear that it will prove to be practically impossible for the government to significantly address the excesses of Suresh Kalmadi and his cohorts."
In another letter to the PM dated October 25, 2007, Mani Shankar had written, "I grow increasingly alarmed at the profligacy of the chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Commonwealth Games 2010. The Ministry has failed to establish a genuinely cooperative working relationship with the Organizing Committee."

This is height of inaction on the part of Dr. Manmohan Singh!
Sometime back when Mr. L.K. Advani called him a 'name', I felt bad about it and thought why elderly statement should indulge in such verbal duel, though Dr. Singh's response to is was much too delayed!!
I still believe Dr. Singh is not corrupted in financial terms but, Today, I am not sure I would react the same way I did in the past about that 'epithet' given by Mr. Advani.
