I have not taken any decision alone,Kalmadi.

After 8-hour long raid by the CBI, a defensive Suresh Kalmadi emerged from his residence Friday evening to claim that he was “innocent till proven guilty”.

Strongly defending his role in the CWG scam, Kalmadi maintained that he had not taken any decision alone and all the spending by the OC had been approved by various committees.

Confirming raids at his residences, Kalmadi said he is willing to co-operate with the probe and stated that he had furnished all documents sought by the investigative agency.

“I offered them full cooperation. I had said after giving the successful CWG that the Organising Committee was ready for any investigations,” he said.

Kalmadi claimed that the money at his disposal Rs 1,500 crore was a small fraction of the total expenditure incurred in the Games. He claimed the Games generated revenue of Rs 700 crore.

However, Kalmadi failed to give a convincing reply to the media when questioned about the reports of missing documents.

“I have written to the CBI Chief and informed that the Organising Committee had handed over all the documents. In case there were some more left, the same would be provided” Kalmadi said and also added that there was a possibility that the papers could be with other probe agencies including Income Tax, CAG or Enforcement Directorate.

Asked if he was being made a “scapegoat”, Kalmadi declined to comment.”I don’t want to answer this question. No comments”.

On what all has been taken by the CBI after the searches, he said, “I don’t know what all they have taken. They have handed me a list.”

He even tried to deflect the blame on the Delhi government and the centre indirectly as he said that he was not responsible for any of the construction work carried out for the Commonwealth Games in response to a query.
