I do not understand,” he said addressing the press conference.

YSRCP is demanding a CBI inquiry into the entire DSC recruitment process,” he said.

Even sports associations have reportedly written letters to the SAAP Managing Director stating that certain individuals had not participated in the respective sporting events on the dates mentioned. Despite this, Nara Lokesh and Nara Chandrababu Naidu are trying to divert the issue. We demand the resignation of Nara Lokesh and a CBI inquiry into the entire DSC sports quota recruitment process and the alleged attack by TDP workers on YSRCP cadres yesterday,” he added. (ANI)
