BSG Jamboree Row: MP Calls Removal 'Illegal', Presidential Post Dispute Reaches High Court

  • BJP MP Brijmohan Agrawal filed a petition in Chhattisgarh High Court, challenging his removal as Executive President of Bharat Scouts and Guides Council (BSG).
  • The dispute began when Education Minister Gajendra Yadav was made ex-officio president, leading to a change in the BSG National Rover-Ranger Jamboree venue.
  • Agrawal cited reasons for postponing the Jamboree, including venue change without consent, direct fund transfer, alleged tender irregularities, and threat to BSG's autonomy.
  • Agrawal argues BSG is governed by its rulebook, not departmental orders, and his removal was without his or other office bearers' knowledge.
  • Congress accused BJP of corruption amid the dispute, while Minister Yadav dismissed allegations, stating work follows GeM portal guidelines.
