New Delhi, Aug. 12 -- Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday termed the passing the of National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, in Lok Sabha as "bulldozing" and expressed concern over the "centralisation" of sports administration, suggesting that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will get "most favourable treatment."

In a post on X, Jairam Ramesh said, "The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025 was bulldozed through the Lok Sabha yesterday and will perhaps be subject to the same treatment in the Rajya Sabha today."

"The Bill will result in the extreme centralisation of sports administration. And, of course, the BCCI will get most favoured treatment, not subject to any laws of the land like the RTI," he added. ...
