New Delhi, August 06: Suresh Kalmadi today ruled out stepping down as Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Chairman in the wake of corruption allegations but said he would quit if asked to by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh or Sonia Gandhi.
He said his first priority was to make a success of the Games and “will not run away from responsibility” but would quit after the event if anything was found against him.
“If my leaders and IOA don’t want me there, then I am ready to quit. If there is something so big that I have done wrong. But I tell you there is no wrong. Let the inquiry report come out. There is nothing to be ashamed of,” Kalmadi told ‘Times Now’.
