The Telangana government has reopened the investigation into Globarena Technologies, the company that processed the Intermediate examination results in 2019. The Vigilance and Enforcement team recently questioned the former board secretary, Ashok, for four hours about how Globarena secured the contract worth over Rs 4.57 crore. The inquiry is examining the tender process, system integration decisions, and why conditions were modified.
Congress has alleged that Globarena was a benami company of former minister K T Rama Rao (KTR), who has denied the claims and sent a legal notice. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has publicly challenged KTR over the issue and linked it to the deaths of 23 Intermediate students. The probe could provide the Congress government with political ammunition against both the BRS and the BJP, which is linked through Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Globarena contract, worth over Rs 4.57 crore, was for processing marks of the Telangana Intermediate examinations. The 2019 exam saw mass failure and student deaths, pushing the BRS government to scrap the system. Revanth Reddy is now using the probe to attack the BRS, specifically KTR, and to pressure the BJP via Union Education Minister Pradhan. The Vigilance and Enforcement Directorate inquiry adds weight to the Congress government's allegations of a benami company linked to KTR, which he has denied with a legal notice. The probe's next visible step will be questioning KTR himself, likely after the current documentary and official evidence is gathered.
