DELHI – The chaos surrounding the Delhi preparations for the Commonwealth Games has deepened after the Big Bad Wolf added to condemnation of India’s readiness to host. Mr Wolf a.k.a ‘Wolfie’, an expert in structural engineering, agreed to go on record with an account of the ‘disastrous’ construction work in the country. “I was there for five months and knew it was a mess,” recalls Wolfie’. “They didn’t want to hear it though. By the way, my name isn’t Wolfie, don’t call me that.”
The past week has already seen the collapse of a footbridge leading to the event’s main stadium, but Wolfie is not surprised by press reports of disarray. “I know a thing or two about crappy workmanship, so when I say a building is coming down…buddy, you better believe it’s coming down. I could’ve blown that bridge over in ten puffs or less.”
Complete Shambles
This expert testimonial has only increased the pressure on the government amid already escalated concerns that hosting the Commonwealth Games may be a step too far for the fledgling nation. Urban development minister Jaipal Reddy quickly moved to rubbish such claims, insisting preparations will be complete on schedule. When faced with questions over sub-standard construction, he said: “I know about Mr Wolf, he is notorious for causing trouble in matters that do not concern him and should not be taken on face value. The games will go ahead as planned.”
Many high profile athletes have already pulled out on the advice of Wolfie, who laughed of assertions India would get their act together in time as ‘fairytale’.
Mr Reddy however, maintains he is not afraid of ‘overblown accusations’ from the Big Bad Wolf, dismissing his earlier remarks that the first two little pigs did a better job than India, calling them ‘unnecessarily inflammatory and unhelpful’.
