On Board PM''s Special Aircraft, Oct 30 (PTI) Notwithstanding the mess surrounding Commonwealth Games, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today disagreed with the suggestion that he or his office should have intervened earlier to get things going saying such actions would not be good for the system. "After the event, anybody can find fault but I don''t think it will be good for the system if everything is to be handled by the Prime Minister or his office," he told reporters. He was responding to questions on the Commonwealth Games mess which had tarnished India''s image and whether he felt in the hindsight that he should have intervened earlier than he did. "The country has good instrumentalities, ministers and other institutions with specific responsibilities. They should be entrusted with the task of accomplishing the task," he said. Singh''s comments came against the backdrop of the last-minute intervention of the PMO to set right the organisation of the Games which attracted criticism for tardy preparation.
