The capital’s Akshardham temple across the Yamuna river is known. But where on earth is the Akash Darshan temple? To go by Sports Minister M.S. Gill, it’s located at the very same spot as the Akshardham temple!
Twice while responding to a calling attention motion in the Rajya Sabha, he referred to the temple area where the 2010 Commonwealth Games village will come up as the Akash Darshan temple. The first time could have been attributed to a slip of tongue. But when it happened a second time, many were seen looking at one another in bewilderment.
Perhaps, given the enormous burden that Gill shoulders to ensure that stadia and other infrastructure for the Games are ready on time, many forgave him for the slip of the tongue.
