# Jagan Reddy accuses Andhra govt of irregularities in DSC recruitment 2026-08-20T09:34:01+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday alleged irregularities in the District Selection Committee (DSC) recruitment process, accusing the state government of refusing to acknowledge the mistakes. He claimed Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is avoiding a discussion in the Legislative Council, where Opposition members could raise questions. Jagan questioned Education Minister Nara Lokesh's defence that assigning both question paper preparation and exam conduct to the same officer was normal, saying in the history of AP DSC recruitments the two responsibilities were never given to one person. YSRCP has also flagged how a State Council of Educational Research and Training outsourcing employee secured a district-top rank. The Opposition party is demanding a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities and Lokesh's resignation. YSRCP MLCs staged a protest at the Legislative Council premises on August 17 demanding a thorough inquiry. The party has also raised allegations that lakhs of rupees were demanded from candidates for jobs, citing audio recordings. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The DSC recruitment row taps into a long-running flashpoint in Andhra Pradesh politics: control over government jobs, which carry huge weight in a state with high unemployment. Between 2019 and 2024, the YSRCP government itself faced repeated allegations of paper leaks and job-for-cash scams, including during police and panchayat secretary recruitments. Jagan Reddy is now using the same playbook against the TDP-led coalition. The real test will be whether the Legislative Council can force a debate or a probe before the next round of DSC exams, scheduled later this year. With crores of rupees and thousands of teaching jobs at stake, neither side can afford to back down. ## Coverage - awazthevoice.in Leads with Jagan's allegations and reproduces his claims verbatim without independent verification or government response, giving a one-sided framing.
