The controversy surrounding the CBSE OSM (On-Screen Marking) issue has snowballed into a political row, with opposition parties launching sharp attacks on Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Leaders from Indian National Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) have questioned the functioning of the examination system, with UBT claiming that "no examination is being conducted properly." Congress described the issue as a "serious and grave matter," drawing parallels with previous controversies surrounding the NEET Examination.
