Hyderabad: BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao on Saturday demanded answers from the Union government over the CBSE marks controversy and alleged that a company linked to the issue had also figured in the Telangana Intermediate results dispute in 2019.
In a statement, KTR praised Class 12 students who questioned alleged irregularities in the evaluation process. He said students were right to seek accountability from authorities. He added that students and parents deserved transparency when decisions affected their academic future.
KTR claimed that Globarena, the company linked to the present issue, had also played a role in the Telangana Intermediate results controversy seven years ago.
He alleged that the company later changed its name and secured a larger contract from the Central Board of Secondary Education. According to him, the development created confusion for students across the country.
KTR said concerns over the evaluation process required a clear response from authorities. He maintained that public institutions must protect the interests of students and ensure fair assessment practices.
KTR cites action taken during 2019 results issue
Recalling the events of 2019, KTR said the then BRS government constituted a three-member committee to investigate the Telangana Intermediate results dispute. He said the government acted on the committee’s recommendations without delay.
According to KTR, the government removed officials linked to the issue and initiated legal proceedings against Globarena. He argued that the administration did not ignore complaints raised by students and parents.
KTR further alleged that CBSE overlooked the company’s controversial record while awarding responsibilities. He claimed the board continued to engage an organisation despite concerns about its past performance.
He also alleged that authorities repeatedly altered rules and procedures to accommodate the firm. According to him, those decisions placed the future of lakhs of students at risk.
The BRS leader said the Union government and the Education Ministry must explain the circumstances that led to the CBSE marks controversy. He urged the Centre to clarify why authorities entrusted responsibilities affecting millions of students to a company facing questions over its past record.
