Analysed 17 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·Andhra Pradesh, India·Politics
YSRCP Demands CBI Probe into DSC Recruitment Amid APPSC Group-I ControversyPreviousNext

YSRCP leaders have called for a CBI investigation into alleged irregularities in the Mega District Selection Committee (DSC) 2025 recruitment, questioning the government's handling and demanding Education Minister Nara Lokesh's resignation. They argue that controversies over the APPSC Group-I recruitment are being used to divert attention from DSC issues. The YSRCP maintains that APPSC exams were conducted transparently, while criticizing the coalition government for avoiding a CBI probe into DSC and suspending teacher-union leaders seeking TET exemptions.
