[PunsterX @PunsterX]

BJP's paid PR campaign has started.

First, NDTV interviewed the 'NEET topper' where the kid said he'd rather study than join the protest.

Now PR agencies are approaching influencers to make videos praising the govt and opposing the protest.

IMPORTANT: SC dismisses Meenakshi Natarajan plea on rejection of her RS nomination, says she must file election petition in HC. A petition like this will take minimum 2-3 years , followed by appeal by which the RS term will be over!@ECISVEEP will take hands-off approach saying matter is sub judice! Net net: a returning officer can act in a prima facie arbitrary manner to disqualify a candidate with no immediate legal remedy. What a ‘masterstroke’!🙏

#WATCH | Ranchi, Jharkhand | A class 12th student, Sarthak Sidhant, says, “…I have written a blog that compares the tender documents of CBSE. I have uploaded and published it… There were at least 15 discrepancies, as per my blog. I would like to highlight three or four of them. Let me give a background about Coempt. It was known as Globarena, and they have a very shady background. 23 students killed themselves because of coempt… Now, I would like to tell you about RFP (Request for Proposal). What happens is the government issues a tender and asks the bidder to bid for it. CBSE issued this tender three times… I have compared the old RFP and the new RFP, and I found some discrepancies… The first discrepancy is that there were three clauses of poor performances which was completely wiped out from the new RFP. In the earlier RFP, there was a clause called blacklisted earlier, whereas in the new RFP, it was changed to blacklisted currently. Why would the board want a service provider which was blacklisted earlier? The third thing I found out is the 50 crore limit, which you needed to qualify, and coempt qualified that by 1.7% … The time frame of corrupt practices was halved, and there were project criteria changes… It shows a pattern that the industry giant TCS was not preferred, but coempt was preferred, which works as a very fragmented group of institutions…”

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.

[Sarthak Sidhant @sidhant_sarthak]

CBSE has systematically rewritten its rulebook to favor Coempt Eduteck.

check out the blog.

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

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.

जब लाखों युवा सड़क पर हों, 22 लाख बच्चों का भविष्य दांव पर हो और PM चुप हो - तो सरकार जवाब देने नहीं, बचने में लगी है।

जब तक धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का इस्तीफा नहीं होता और NEET जैसे पेपर लीक रोकने के लिए foolproof सिस्टम नहीं बनता - हम रुकेंगे नहीं।

[Amitabh Dubey @dubeyamitabh]

This predictable pattern would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious. The promoter of an infrastructure project lands in financial difficulties and faces investigation by Modani’s investigative agencies — not one, but three: DRI, CBI and ED. Accusations of coal over-invoicing and money-laundering follow. The promoter is arrested in 2022.

Fast forward two-and-a-half years: an Adani-led consortium takes control of the project. Shortly thereafter, the case collapses and the promoter is exonerated by the Delhi High Court. But the project is now in Adani’s hands — the same person who is miraculously immune from similar charges.

Wasn't this government portraying MMS as evil just last week for doing the same thing saying that it put future generations in debt and what not?
Personally, I think it's ofcourse good only as long as prices are lower but it's hilarious the stands this govt takes and how cutely it's supporters also parrot haan sahi toh bol rahe hai. Apna katne par bhi Masterstroke Masterstroke karte rehte hai. Bade bhole hai.

FInd this narrative so funny. We are supposed to hate Congress because they reduced the cost of petrol to us population because apparently they wanted to score 'political points'.
Arre bhai, tum bhi karo na political points score. Pls kuch cheeze sasti kar do. How come all political points BJP scores is something that is never felt tangibly in our lives to make it better or anything cheaper. Just mann mann mei sochna hota hai ki bhai kya badiya master stroke tha.

[Salman Soz @SalmanSoz]

I feel bad for BJP. They keep scoring self goals. Spreading misinformation about oil bonds has been used as a cover by BJP to extort huge amounts of funds from Indian citizens. Let us get to the bottom of this.

If we take the data BJP has shared, this is what it says:

Average cost of crude oil (per barrel)
2005-2014: $86 (MMS)
2015-2025: $67 (Modi)

Average cost of petrol (Rupees per liter)
2005-2014: 54 (MMS)
2015-2025: 82 (Modi)

Crude oil was 22% cheaper under BJP, yet petrol was 52% more expensive!

What happened? Taxes are a big part of the Modi government's petroleum strategy (other factors impact prices too).

BJP will keep misleading the public about oil bonds being a reason for high fuel prices but they hope that you don't find out the full picture.

Keep reading!

BJP's oil bond figure of 3.23 lakh crore (more on that later) should be seen in the following context.

Between 2015 and 2025, the petroleum sector has generated 66 lakh crores in revenues for the exchequer. According to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (or PPAC), the Central Government collected 40 lakh crores of the total. 34 lakh crores were in taxes and duties. While 6 lakh crores were dividends.

The BJP wants you to believe that your high petrol and diesel prices are because of the 3.23 lakh crores of principal and interest payments associated with oil bonds issues by the UPA government (and the Vajpayee government). Total silence about taxes and duties!

So, you have to praise the Modi government because they spent 3.32 lakh crores out of the 40 lakh crores they collected from all of us. If you are not outraged by this, then you are only interested in supporting BJP blindly. That is your choice.

But, the story doesn't end there. There is another twist. The 3.23 lakh crore "credit card bill" that the BJP claims as UPA's legacy is a half truth:

1. The first oil bonds were issued by the NDA 1 government under Atal Bihari Vajpayee (9000 crore).

2. The UPA Government paid interest of 53,163 crores between 2009 and 2014. This interest was on the bonds issued both by the Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh governments. I bet you didn't hear Dr. Singh constantly complain about the Vajpayee government's oil bond.

3. That means the amount of interest and principal repaid by the Modi government is much less than 3.23 lakh crores.

But we paid 34 lakh crores in taxes and duties for the central government alone. Add to that taxes and duties for state governments and the dividends issued mostly for the central government and you begin to fully understand how the fleecing of the Indian consumer and taxpayer is engineered under the cover of UPA oil bonds, which are a tiny fraction of the oil sector's Rs. 66 lakh crore contribution to the government exchequer.

Don't let BJP get away with fake narratives. Time to reclaim the truth...and the country.
