Speaking in Parliament, YSRCP MP M Gurumoorthy voiced support for the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, while pressing the Centre to widen its reach to cover state-level recruitment boards too. He put the number of paper leaks at more than 220 across 2005 to 2026, affecting close to 10 crore students spread over 21 states, a figure he cited in the House himself. On Andhra Pradesh specifically, Gurumoorthy alleged irregularities within the state's Mega DSC drive to fill 16,347 teaching posts, pointing to altered Sports Quota norms, a contested rank-list entry tied to a contract employee, and stalled progress in a separate case alleging posts were sold. He demanded a CBI inquiry into the recruitment exercise, called for the state's Education Minister to step down, and pressed for tougher safeguards against leaks in state exams.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The leak count, the affected-student estimate and the specific allegations against Andhra Pradesh's recruitment drive all come from Gurumoorthy's own remarks in the House, with no other account cited here to check them against. As one MP's claims, they stand unconfirmed for now, though extending federal anti-leak provisions to state boards is a legislative question that can be judged on its own terms regardless of how the Andhra Pradesh allegations are eventually resolved. A CBI probe being ordered, or Andhra Pradesh's government answering the Sports Quota and rank-list allegations directly, would be the next development that turns these claims into a matter of record.
