YSRCP Chief Challenges Andhra Pradesh Government to CBI Probe on Teacher ExamsPreviousNext

YSRCP leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy challenged Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Education Minister Nara Lokesh to order a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the 2025 DSC teacher recruitment and 2018 Group-I exams. Jagan asserted the Group-I exam was conducted transparently under court directives and denied any wrongdoing by his government. He accused the current TDP-led coalition of targeting the previous administration to divert attention from the DSC controversy, while the government has not accepted the probe challenge.
