The CBSE answer-sheet controversy has taken a political turn following Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's meeting with student Vedant Shrivastava. Vedant's viral post had earlier exposed an alleged evaluation error under the board's On-Screen Marking system. In a video shared online, Gandhi mocked allegations that the student and his family were 'anti-national', 'Pakistani', and 'deep state agents' after raising concerns about the examination process. The issue has reignited debate over exam transparency, accountability, and student rights. The meeting underscores the growing political dimension of the controversy, with opposition leaders rallying behind the student. Vedant's initial complaint highlighted discrepancies in the marking system, which he claimed affected his scores. The CBSE has yet to issue an official response to the allegations. Meanwhile, supporters of the student have called for a thorough investigation into the board's evaluation methods. The controversy continues to generate widespread discussion on social media and news platforms.
