Commonwealth Games success tops my agenda: Gill

“Now that we have been entrusted with the responsibility of hosting the Commonwealth Games, we have to make sure that it proves a big success,” Gill said.

Aiyar, who was at loggerheads with the Indian Olympic Association for the major part of his stint as Sports Minister, was sceptical of the entire exercise and famously said events like these were of little consequence to common people.

Gill, meanwhile, was pained by the huge financial gap between cricketers and other sportspersons and promised to take up the case of pension for needy athletes.
