HURTING THE common man by increasing the prices of essential commodities including LPG cooking-gas, diesel, CNG and others through 2010-11 budget of Delhi government in the name of collecting funds for Commonwealth Games is not justified. People need relief from rising prices rather than Commonwealth Games.

 There are other ways as well to save funds. Big advertisement-budget (also including for Commonwealth games) is mainly for photo-publicity of political rulers. The over-expenditure on advertisements is also done to drain public-money to  publications, whose circulation is negligible.
