Money Paid But No Song From Rahman

As if the corruption controversy is not enough, the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee seems to be having no issues in blowing away money. Reliable sources have revealed that a whopping Rs 20 lakhs was spent just for calling A. R. Rahman for the launch of the music CD of the Games anthem.

It is heard that Rahman said he would reveal the lyrics of the song in another 10 days and hence the CD could not be launched. Queries are already being raised as to why so much money was spent on the press conference even after the organizers knew the song wasn’t complete.

Apparently, Rahman said he had been hearing a lot of “bad stories” about the CWG but was positive that they were not true. The Oscar- winning composer urged the media to portray a positive image of the country. While not much has been spoken about the amount, perhaps Rahman must realize how the organizers have been misusing the funds and bringing shame before saying anything.
