Commonwealth games are at our head. In order to bringout some fruitfull results for the talent available with us, there is huge requirements of funds, which I feel GOI may not be able to spend. But GOI shall limit the spending by any multinational companies in one particular sport to a certain amount only. Instead they shall be made to divide their funds equally in all the other sports so that other sports can also gain ground and the tallent available in our country is utilised.
