CBSE OSM Coempt TCS row | CBSE on screen marking row: Rahul Gandhi says ‘rules’ bent to favour Coempt, cites TCS loss in auction
Rahul Gandhi criticized the Modi government over the CBSE exam evaluation controversy, alleging that the board lowered technical requirements to favor COEMPT Eduteck Private Limited, a company with a poor track record. He demanded an independent judicial probe into the contract awarding process and accused the government of prioritizing its survival over student well-being. Piyush Goyal, the Union commerce minister, countered Gandhi's claims, accusing him of "propaganda" while Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union education minister, defended the board's actions. Other prominent figures like Priyanka Chaturvedi and Mohammed Zubair have also raised concerns about potential manipulation and a coordinated campaign to promote the OSM system.
