The blog Churimuri has a long post which seeks to link the Times of India’s daily attacks on the Commonwealth Games with the fact that the paper proposed a deal to the CWG authorities which the latter did not bite. The paper’s executives apparently wrote to Suresh Kalmadi in November last year presenting a "comprehensive print proposal" (for Times of India, Navbharat Times, Maharashtra Times, Mirror and Sandhya Times) for Rs 12 crore plus. They did not however get a deal.
