The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday charged the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and the Delhi government with "misleading" the people of the country about the preparation for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in the national capital.
Addressing a press conference, BJP general secretary Vijay Goel said: "It is sad that over the past few days, the Indian Olympic Association has been trying to create a false impression that visiting Commonwealth Games Federation president Michael Fennell was satisfied with the preparations for the games."
He also claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's statements that Fennell was satisfied with the preparations are "false".
Goel said Fennell later said that more than the construction of the stadiums, he was upset with the lack of coordination and work on operational issues as well as security during the games.
