CAG drags PMO in CWG mess, faults Sheila Dikshit

New Delhi, Aug 5 - The CAG today dragged the PMO in the CWG mess by saying that Suresh Kalmadi, who is jail for alleged irregularities, was appointed as Organising Committee chief at its behest in 2004 despite "serious objections" from within government. The auditor also blamed Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's "active involvement" for causing a loss of Rs 31.07 crore (rpt) Rs 31.07 as it highlighted how wasteful expenditure worth several hundred crore of rupees was caused in conduct of the CWG through "irregularities", "favouritism" and "bias" in award of contracts for projects.
