Pawar takes a dig at Kalmadi, calls CWG a joke
New Delhi: Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Friday night took a dig at the Chairman of Commonwealth Games Organising Committee, Suresh Kalmadi.

Speaking at programme in Pune, Pawar, whose rivalry with Kalmadi goes back a long time in Pune politics, recalled a joke doing the rounds currently to hit at the Games Organising Committee chief.

"These Games have become a joke. Nowadays, I am hearing a story that due to severe criticism, the chief of the Organising Committee decided to commit suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling. But ironically, the ceiling came down. Maybe the quality of ceiling was not good," he said. (With PTI inputs)
