Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Saturday appreciated class 12 students for courageously fighting back against the reported CBSE marks fiasco and demanding accountability from those in positions of power.
Holding the Union government accountable for the crisis, KTR demanded answers from the Centre and the Union education ministry. “The Union government must answer for this mess. The education minister must explain how a company with such a history was entrusted with a critical responsibility involving the future of millions of students,” KTR added.
KT Rama Rao’s Strong Remarks
The BRS leader asserted that the future of India cannot be built on a broken and rotten system where incompetence was rewarded and accountability was absent. “Students deserve transparency, fairness and accountability. The Union government and CBSE must immediately address the grievances of students, rectify all errors and ensure that those responsible are held accountable,” KTR added.
Globarena’s Troubled History
Expressing serious concern over the controversy, KTR pointed out that the company at the centre of the current CBSE marks fiasco, Globarena, was the same organisation that was responsible for the Telangana Intermediate results debacle in 2019. “It is unfortunate that Globarena, the same company that botched the Telangana Intermediate results in 2019, appears to have merely changed its name and gone on to secure an even bigger contract from CBSE, only to create a much larger chaos affecting students across the country,” he alleged.
Recalling the action taken by the then BRS government in Telangana, KTR stated that the government had acted swiftly and responsibly after the Intermediate results fiasco. Based on the findings of a three-member committee constituted to investigate the issue, the officials concerned were removed from their positions and legal action was initiated against Globarena.
“For the record, when the Globarena fiasco happened in Telangana, the BRS government did not look the other way. We constituted a committee, acted on its findings, removed the officials responsible and took the company to court,” he claimed.
CBSE’s Alleged Negligence
The BRS leader further alleged that despite the company’s controversial history and the lessons from the Telangana experience, CBSE Board had ignored the warning signs and continued to accommodate an organisation with a questionable track record. “It is shocking that CBSE appears to have repeatedly modified rules and procedures only to accommodate a highly incompetent organisation. Such decisions have now put the future of lakhs of students at risk,” he added.
KTR Challenges Rahul Gandhi
KTR called upon the youth of Telangana to question Rahul Gandhi over what he described as the Congress government’s betrayal of unemployed youth and students. Addressing a meeting of party functionaries of the Musheerabad constituency, KTR reminded Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy that Rahul Gandhi had visited Musheerabad before the elections and made a series of sweeping promises to unemployed youth and students, only to abandon them after securing their votes.
KTR’s remarks come amid growing discontent over the CBSE marks controversy, which has affected thousands of students across the country. The BRS leader’s criticism targets both the central government and the opposition Congress party, highlighting a pattern of negligence and unfulfilled promises.
