Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has intensified criticism of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in CBSE’s On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, citing procurement concerns, technical glitches, and delays in re-evaluation. He accused the government of protecting the minister despite repeated lapses, while CBSE faces scrutiny and a government probe has been ordered.
New Delhi: The political firestorm surrounding the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) intensified on Wednesday as Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday sharpened his attacks on Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, stating that the minister is "shamelessly" retaining his office while evidence of incompetence keeps coming out.
In an X post, Ramesh cited multiple reports of irregularities in the CBSE evaluation process, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "protecting" the Education Minister despite a "string of debacles".
"The CBSE leadership may have been transferred out, but the Mantri Pradhan is shamelessly digging his heels in office even while evidence of his Ministry's incompetence and corruption piles up," he said.
The Congress leader claimed a lack of transparency regarding the board's On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, alleging that CBSE officials struggled to answer questions raised by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education regarding the procurement process.
