CBSE marking row: Rahul Gandhi says ‘rules’ bent to favour Coempt, cites TCS loss in auction

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi upped his criticism of the Modi government on Friday over the CBSE exam evaluation controversy, citing media reports that the education board had “lowered the technical bar” in a tender until Coempt Eduteck Private Limited, the company at the centre of the controversy, could qualify.

In a post on X, Rahul said he had been demanding an independent judicial probe from day one into the CBSE’s on-screen marking and the award of the contract to COEMPT as the youth of the country deserved to know the truth.
