YSRCP Demands Probe into DSC Recruitment

Meanwhile, YSRCP spokesperson and MLA Tatiparthi Chandrasekhar demanded the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh and a CBI probe into the DSC paper leaks, recruitment irregularities, and injustice to meritorious candidates.

He said the coalition government turned the District Selection Committee into a "Dining Selection Committee," distributing jobs to those backed by TDP leaders while more than 32,000 complaints were received over 16,000 recruitments.

He said a SCERT employee who secured first rank was denied counselling, while a viral video showed a person demanding ₹15 lakh for a DSC job. G.O. Nos. 4 and 47 were brought in to facilitate irregular appointments and later withdrawn, he said.
