YSRCP seeks CBI probe into Andhra DSC and APPSC recruitments

YSRCP Employees' Wing state president P Chandrasekhar Reddy on Sunday demanded a CBI investigation into both the Mega District Selection Committee (DSC)-2025 and the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) Group-I recruitment. He challenged the coalition government to allow an impartial probe instead of using the APPSC issue as a diversion from the DSC irregularities, and demanded that Education Minister Nara Lokesh resign taking moral responsibility. Hindustan Times reports Reddy cited question-paper leakage, sale of teacher posts, and changes in recruitment documents as areas of concern.

Countering the opposition, Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav told the Legislative Council that the TDP government had completed 14 mega DSCs during its tenure, while the YSR Congress failed to complete even one DSC recruitment during its 2019-2024 term. M9.news reports the NDA government has been actively responding to the allegations. YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had earlier posted on X that lakhs of students and citizens participated in party rallies questioning the government over recruitment irregularities.

Chandrasekhar Reddy further condemned the suspension of teacher-union leaders who travelled to Delhi seeking TET exemption for long-serving teachers. He demanded immediate revocation of the suspensions and an Assembly resolution on the TET exemption. He also stated that employee dues had increased from about Rs 23,000 crore to Rs 30,000 crore. Reddy said he was ready for a public debate with Minister Narayana on DSC, government recruitment, and other issues.
