{“title”:”PM Modi’s Silence on CBSE OSM Row Sparks Outrage, Rahul Gandhi Demands Accountability”,”content”:”
In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday accused him of complicity in the CBSE’s handling of the Objective Structured Multiple Choice Question (OSM) paper. Gandhi’s comments came after the CBSE announced that it would not declare the results of the OSM paper due to technical issues, leaving over 18.5 lakh students in the lurch. The prime minister’s silence on the issue has sparked outrage, with many questioning his commitment to the welfare of students.
PM Modi’s Mann Ki Baat Silence Raises Eyebrows
Rahul Gandhi’s comments were in response to the prime minister’s monthly radio address, Mann Ki Baat, in which he spoke about various issues, but remained mum on the CBSE OSM row. The Congress leader pointed out that the prime minister had the time to discuss everything from the economy to the environment, but seemed to have neglected the plight of students. “The Prime Minister had time to talk about everything in Mann Ki Baat, but not a word about the 18.5 lakh children whose answer sheets were not assessed properly by CBSE,” Gandhi tweeted.
Gandhi’s comments have sparked a renewed debate on the government’s handling of education. Many have pointed out that the CBSE’s decision not to declare the results is a clear indication of the government’s lack of commitment to education. “The government’s silence on this issue is a reflection of their priorities,” said a senior Congress leader. “They are more interested in scoring political brownie points than in addressing the real issues facing students.”
CBSE’s Handling of OSM Paper Raises Questions
The CBSE’s handling of the OSM paper has been marred by controversy. The board had announced that it would conduct the OSM paper for Class 10 and 12 students, but technical issues led to the assessment of answer sheets being delayed. The CBSE had initially promised to declare the results by the end of April, but has now pushed the deadline to mid-May. The delay has left students and parents in a state of uncertainty, with many worried about the impact on their future.
The CBSE’s handling of the OSM paper has also raised questions about the board’s preparedness for exams. “The CBSE’s decision to conduct the OSM paper without adequate preparation is a clear indication of their incompetence,” said a parent. “The board’s failure to declare the results on time has caused immense stress and anxiety for students.”
Government’s Response Leaves Much to be Desired
The government’s response to the CBSE OSM row has been lackluster, with many questioning their commitment to education. The HRD ministry has issued a statement assuring students that the results will be declared soon, but has failed to provide a concrete timeline. The statement has done little to alleviate the concerns of students and parents, who are demanding a clear and transparent response from the government.
“The government’s response has been disappointing,” said a senior education expert. “They have failed to address the real issues facing students and have instead resorted to making empty promises. The government needs to take concrete steps to address the problems facing the education sector, rather than just paying lip service to it.”
In the face of growing outrage, Rahul Gandhi’s comments on PM Modi’s silence on the CBSE OSM row have struck a chord with many. The prime minister’s failure to address the issue has raised questions about his commitment to education and the welfare of students. As the debate continues, one thing is clear – the government needs to take concrete steps to address the problems facing the education sector, rather than just paying lip service to it.
