Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP, has criticized the Indian government over the recent controversies surrounding the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). He accused the government of evading accountability while scapegoating officials, specifically pointing out the transfers of the CBSE Chairman and Secretary, while Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan remains unaffected. Gandhi reiterated his demand for Pradhan's dismissal and called for an independent judicial inquiry into the board's operations, emphasizing that the issues at hand are significant and cannot be overlooked. His remarks follow scrutiny of CBSE's digital infrastructure amid reports of technical glitches and concerns about answer-sheet evaluations. In response, CBSE has opened a re-evaluation portal for students until June 6, 2026, with a fully digital payment process for verification and re-evaluation requests, aiming to enhance accessibility for the 18.5 million students enrolled in the board.
