The allegations are misleading and factless… On Rahul Gandhi’s allegations regarding irregularities in the board exam results.

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday (May 27, 2026) demanded a judicial inquiry and SIT investigation into allegations of alleged large-scale tampering in CBSE board exam results. He also raised the question that the Prime Minister has not yet addressed this issue. Narendra Modi Why has he not given any statement?

Rahul Gandhi shared a video post on social media platform X and attacked the government for selecting a Hyderabad-based company in the board’s digital assessment process. His move has sparked the On-Screen Marking (OSM) controversy, in which he has alleged that CBSE did not check the background of the company, bypassed the rules and gave the contract to it and also alleged nexus between the company management and the Modi government. However, CBSE immediately rejected the allegations made by the opposition leader.

What allegations did Rahul Gandhi make in the video post??

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said, ‘There has been massive manipulation in the CBSE exam results, due to which lakhs of children and their parents of the country are in shock. And Modi ji? As always – no answers, no responsibility, no shame. The company COEMPT which got this responsibility had earlier done the same feat in Telangana in 2019 under the name of Globarena. Name changed – but intentions remain the same, nature remains the same. Everyone knew the history, yet the contract was given. The future of 18.5 lakh children was handed over to such a company and no one cared. This is not a mistake – this is a well-planned conspiracy.

Along with this, he also raised some questions in the post. In which he asked-

• Why was the CBSE contract given to COEMPT and at whose behest?
• Which rules and procedures were bypassed and this contract was given to this company?
• COEMPT has already been embroiled in controversies in the name of Globarena, why did CBSE not know this? Why weren’t background checks done?
• What is the relationship between COEMPT management and Modi government?

There should be an independent judicial inquiry into the scam: Rahul Gandhi

He said, ‘We demand that an independent judicial inquiry and SIT be formed immediately to bring forward the real culprits of this entire scam. Gen Z friends of CBSE – Your hard work, your future, no one will be able to steal it. We will get to the bottom of this conspiracy and root out this corruption.
