Three Indian teenagers — a hacker, a researcher and a student unhappy with his exam scores — have exposed a series of failures in India’s education system that have created a major headache for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government https://t.co/zpa9FoI2JQ

Deccan Herald confirmed: 'Govt has NO PLAN to go back to E0.' Ethanol-free petrol is gone from India forever. Vintage bike owner. Carburetted two-stroke. Racing vehicle. Sensitive medical generator. There is no pure petrol for you, anywhere in this country. A fuel monopoly enforced without a single parliamentary vote.

Latest: On May 10, PM Modi urged us to carpool, use public transport and save fuel.

We tracked his activities since the war began and found: in 70 days, he travelled to 53 cities, attended 81 events across 12 states, including 25 roadshows.

Only 13/81 events were official events. Reporting for @thewire_in with Aashna Ajmera:

Read this story. Carefully.

CBSE called for OSM tenders thrice. Zero bids the first time. No qualified bidder the second time. And finally, the technical bar was lowered until COEMPT could clear it.

Scanning resolution cut. Robotic scanner requirement dropped. CMMI certification lowered from Level 5 to Level 3. Penalties for errors in answer sheets removed.

TCS, India’s biggest IT services company, qualified in the third round too. TCS lost. COEMPT - a company with a spectacular track record of failure - won.

And what are CBSE students complaining about today? Badly scanned answer sheets. Missing pages. A broken evaluation portal.

Teachers had warned CBSE that the OSM system needed at least a year or two for further preparation before nationwide implementation, yet it was rushed through.

So I ask again - who wanted COEMPT to win? Who lowered the bar, step by step, until this company could clear it?

Pradhan ji and CBSE say “due process was followed.” That is not an answer, that is not accountability. The question is whether the contract was honestly awarded to the best company which could do the job correctly.

The futures of 18.5 lakh children were handed to a company that could only qualify after the rules were bent for it.

To the BJP Ministers attacking me for asking questions - I have, from day one, demanded an independent judicial probe. Expand it from CBSE to every contract awarded to COEMPT. Our youth deserve the truth.

And Modi ji, your silence on the CBSE debacle and inaction against the Education Minister tells the country what you actually care about - not the futures of lakhs of students, only the survival of your own government.

I hope people remember this CBSE and NEET diaster when they are voting in 2029. You all seem to forget things when it's time to vote.

And this. CBSE has asked schools to make reels and back OSM.

BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya called her work an "incoherent rant" and suggested she "might be on the take."

Her phone number was shared. Strangers tried to find where she lives in Oslo.

We’re all hypocrites for making air pollution only an issue in winters.

This is the current AQI in Delhi. Severe. 400+. Even in peak summer.

THIS IS PEAK WHATABOUTERY 🔥

REPORTER: Why should Norway trust India when fundamental rights are being violated?

MEA: We have Gandhi, ancient civilisation, and a Constitution that guarantees fundamental rights.

REPORTER 🎯: Exactly. I know India has fundamental rights. That is why I asked about violations.

MEA: If rights are violated, people can go to court. 😐

REPORTER: That’s the point. Why are people forced to go to court for basic rights?

MEA: It’s my press conference. I will decide.

REPORTER: When will PM take free questions from the press?

MEA: Next question.
