CBI probe, prosecutions, Radhakrishnan review, DG replacement, Public Examinations Act 2024, process reforms.

Aims and techniques — agenda setting, framing, emotion, repetition, selective facts, coordinated amplification.

Skeptical questions, constitutional accountability tools, incentives of automatic resignation, evidence over viral verdicts.
