Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi shared a video of his interaction with a group of CBSE Class 12 students who had raised concerns over their examination marks. In the video posted on X, Gandhi spoke to students who questioned the board’s evaluation process and discussed the discrepancies they allegedly discovered during the re-evaluation.
