A parliamentary debate on exam reforms escalated into a bitter political face-off between the Congress and the BJP over the Centre's task force. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra questioned the inclusion of IIT Madras Director Prof. V. Kamakoti, taking a jab at his past January 2025 comments endorsing the medicinal value of cow urine. Slamming the choice for an education reform panel, she asked where the actual exam experts were. The BJP reacted strongly, with MP Anurag Thakur defending Prof. Kamakoti as a top AI pioneer and scientist while accusing Congress of insulting Indian culture and academia.
