A heated exchange has ignited between Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding the CBSE exam evaluation process. Gandhi accused the system of irregularities and called for an independent investigation, while Pradhan dismissed these claims as politically motivated.

Gandhi has raised concerns over the selection of COEMPT, a firm with a controversial background, for handling digital evaluations. In response, Pradhan defended the CBSE's decision-making as compliant with government procurement policies, urging against politicizing the matter. Both leaders continue to exchange accusations amid the ongoing controversy.

Gandhi also claimed that Prime Minister Modi should have dismissed Pradhan over his handling of the issue. As a counter, Pradhan focused on the government's transparency efforts and reassured that all student concerns will be addressed through the On-Screen Marking system despite some reported discrepancies.

While political tensions escalate, Pradhan emphasized the CBSE's commitment to accuracy and the importance of minimizing student stress, reaffirming that corrective actions will be taken if necessary.
