New Delhi, September 26: Under attack from all quarters but defiant nonetheless, Commonwealth Games Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi today said his enthusiasm for the event remains intact and he can’t wait for it to get started come October 3.
“I am a satisfied man. I am excited about the Games and can’t wait for it to start rolling,” Kalmadi told PTI as he took a tour of the Village to oversee the last-minute work going on in the campus spread over 63.5 hectares.
Asked about the negative publicity that the Village got after foreign delegates complained about lack of hygiene and cleanliness, he said, “My job is to deliver the Games. The construction of venues was not done by me. I only wish if they were handed over to us much earlier and then we could have finished the overlaying works by now.
