17-year-old Sarthak Sidhant has exposed how CBSE manipulated its own selection process to benefit COEMPT, using CBSE’s own documents.
The details in his blog reveal how CBSE changed the RFP to unduly benefit COEMPT, at the cost of TCS.
He has revealed the hollowness of Dharmendra Pradhan ji’s denials. The PM remains silent, as usual. The question is simple: who are they protecting, and why?
An independent judicial inquiry is now essential to uncover the full extent of this scam.
Sarthak’s work shows that India’s Gen Z is brilliant and fearless. And sooner or later, they will find out the full truth.
Beyond the Slogans: India’s Manufacturing Realities
https://t.co/BD3wAIxoPL
India’s growth story increasingly rests on services and headline GDP numbers, but Gross Value Added (GVA) reveals a weaker manufacturing reality. Despite decades of industrial policy — from the National Manufacturing Policy to Make in India and PLI schemes — manufacturing remains stuck around 13% of GDP, far below the long-promised 25% target.
Unlike East Asian economies, India bypassed the traditional transition from agriculture to manufacturing, creating a “missing middle” in employment and production. While electronics exports and assembly have expanded, deep manufacturing ecosystems remain weak.
Structural bottlenecks, shallow supply chains and capital preference for speculative sectors continue to prevent India from becoming a genuine production economy.
Drawing the curtains on an illustrious political career spanning nearly five decades, Karnataka’s Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is learnt to have informed his Cabinet colleagues of his decision to resign from the post during the breakfast that he hosted at his official residence in Bengaluru on May 28.
Political journeys are seldom linear, and the career of Siddaramaiah — who has surpassed the record of D. Devaraj Urs to become the longest-serving Chief Minister of Karnataka — has been marked by dramatic twists and turns over four decades.
Here are some images from the AHINDA strongman’s journey of highs and lows in Karnataka politics.

Today, I went to Lok Bhavan and, in the absence of the Governor, handed over my resignation letter from the post of Chief Minister to the Governor’s Special Secretary.
As someone who was born and brought up in a small village, I had never imagined that one day I would become an MLA, a Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, and serve twice as the Chief Minister of Karnataka. A dream this big became possible only because of the Constitution written by Babasaheb Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
Buddha, Basavanna, Babasaheb Ambedkar, and Mahatma Gandhi have always shown me the path. Through my forty-eight years in public life, I have always tried to stand with honesty beside the poor, the oppressed, the neglected, and those who were denied opportunities in society. That is the greatest satisfaction of my life.
I will forever remain grateful to the party legislators who trusted me and chose me to lead, to my cabinet colleagues who walked with me through every challenge, and to Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Shri Rahul Gandhi, and AICC President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge for believing in me and giving me this responsibility.
But above all, I bow my head before the people of Karnataka, the lakhs of affectionate hearts who treated me as one among their own, blessed me, encouraged me, corrected me, stood by me in difficult times, and held my hand throughout this long journey. Whatever I am today is because of you.
The Constitution is my religion, and the people are my God. My resignation is only from the Chief Minister’s post, not from public life or from my commitment to the people.
Till my last breath, I will continue to fight for social justice and stand against divisive communal forces that go against the spirit of our Constitution.
Thank you for your love, trust, and companionship through every step of this journey. ❤

Bengaluru: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah says, "I have submitted my resignation today after the high command told me earlier to resign. I am fully confident that the Governor will accept it when he comes because it has to be done according to the Constitution...We are in the absolute majority. Therefore, it is constitutional that the Chief Minister should be allowed (to form govt)...I would like to express my immense gratitude to Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, who have provided this opportunity."

Dharmendra Pradhan ji, you can attack me all you want but it won’t absolve you of your crimes. Nor will it stop me from demanding answers for 18.5 lakh children.
Why was the CBSE OSM contract handed to COEMPT - a company already mired in controversy under its old name, Globarena? On whose orders was it done? Why were no background checks done? What is the connection between COEMPT’s management and the Modi government?
Either you ran a background check and went ahead anyway - or you didn’t run one at all. Either way, you are complicit.
As for responsibility - if the PM cared, he should have sacked you long ago for ruining the futures of lakhs of students.
The Congress family always stands united! 💙
