Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi praised 18-year-old Sarthak Sidhant and his associate Nisarga Adhikary for highlighting alleged irregularities in the CBSE's on-screen marking (OSM) system. Sharing a video of his meeting with Sarthak, Gandhi said the teenagers achieved what even major investigative agencies could not. He claimed that "Modi ji wants youth to keep making reels and frying pakodas" instead of questioning the system. The controversy relates to allegations of answer-sheet mismatches in the digital evaluation process. Gandhi has demanded an independent judicial inquiry into the matter.
