The mood in the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee's office at Jantar Mantar here was very sombre yesterday as Suresh Kalmadi's colleagues were glued to their television sets closely following all the action from the Lok Sabha where the OC big boss faced a barrage of allegations.
Kalmadi and his men have been in the dock for sometime now with fresh reports of corruption in the allocation of contracts for the Games emerging almost on a daily basis.u00a0 Kalmadi's close confidante and CWG OC vice-president Randhir Singh meanwhile was a disappointed man with the happenings.

'Deeply hurt'
"All what has been happening is very sad and I'm deeply hurt by this," Randhir told MiD DAY at the OC office here yesterday.
The former India shooter, who is also the secretary general of the Indian Olympic Association and the Olympic Council of Asia also admitted that time was the OC's Enemy No 1 what with the Games being less that two months away and most competition venues being incomplete.
"We have begun our visits to the venues today. The idea is to visit at least three venues per day so that we have everything sorted out as soon as possible. Time is running out," he added.
However, the Games will not suffer, assured the veteran administrator. "We must put everything behind us. I assure you we will have a great Games. Sport will be a winner in the end," Randhir said.
