Overview
- YSRCP president Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday called for an independent CBI inquiry into the Mega DSC/DSC‑2025 recruitment and demanded Education Minister Nara Lokesh’s resignation, saying only an impartial probe can restore confidence.
- Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu defended the process as fair, said the government completed roughly 16,000 appointments, and challenged the opposition to attend the Assembly so the state can present evidence of clean recruitment.
- Protests by aspirants and YSRCP supporters have produced clashes and allegations that police used lathi‑charges in Vijayawada and that attackers disguised as teachers struck demonstrators, a core point of contention between the parties.
- The state completed appointments despite 355 legal petitions filed to halt the recruitment, and no independent inquiry has been announced in the reports that covered these developments.
- The dispute affects lakhs of candidates who prepared for the exam, could trigger court rulings or legislative debate, and may shape local political mobilization ahead of upcoming civic contests.
