(2 Aug) NEW DELHI: The Comptroller Auditor General (CAG) report on the Commonwealth Games scam, which is likely to be tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, blames the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) for the appointment of Suresh Kalmadi as the Common Wealth Games Chief. Sources also said that the CAG report questions the role of New Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dixit's office for not being prompt in dealing with the high expenditures incurred by the government. Questions were raised against the PMO for overlooking concerns raised by Mani Shankar Aiyar and Sunil Dutt against Kalmadi. CAG sources also report that intentional delays caused by Kalmadi led to high expenses. The report also indicts the Delhi government agencies for excessive spending in beautification of the city.
