YSRCP spokesperson Jupudi Prabhakar challenged the coalition government to order CBI probes into DSC-2025 and APPSC, seeking answers over recruitment-related allegations.
Tadepalli: YSRCP State General Secretary and spokesperson Jupudi Prabhakar has challenged Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Education Minister Nara Lokesh to accept former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s demand for CBI investigations into both the DSC-2025 recruitment process and the APPSC.
Addressing the media, Jupudi said the government should order CBI probes into both issues if it was confident about the transparency of the recruitment processes.
“If the government is honest and confident, let it order CBI probes into both. YSRCP is ready. Are Chandrababu and Lokesh ready?” he asked.
Jupudi sought explanations from the government over alleged changes to rules and Government Orders governing DSC recruitment.
He questioned why candidates who had reportedly qualified and completed certificate verification were allegedly denied appointments. He also sought clarity on whether there had been any leakage of examination questions and who would be responsible if irregularities were established.
The YSRCP leader said the government could not avoid accountability merely because it had a numerical majority in the Legislature.
He said unemployed youth, students and their parents deserved clear answers and claimed that YSRCP would continue raising the issue until the facts emerged.
Jupudi said APPSC is a constitutional institution and maintained that YSRCP had no objection to an investigation into any alleged irregularities.
He said Jagan Mohan Reddy had openly expressed willingness to face such scrutiny.
“If you suspect wrongdoing in APPSC, investigate it. But why use the Group-I issue to divert attention from questions surrounding DSC?” Jupudi asked.
Jupudi also demanded that Education Minister Nara Lokesh resign, saying the demand was not limited to the opposition and that protests by unemployed youth, students and parents reflected growing dissatisfaction.
He called for the government to address their concerns and provide clarity on the recruitment process.
On the Sports Quota, Jupudi said opportunities provided to accomplished sportspersons should not be equated with regular teacher recruitment.
He argued that teaching positions require appropriate educational qualifications and professional skills and cautioned that political compromises in recruitment could affect students and future generations.
Jupudi also accused the coalition government of weakening education reforms introduced during the previous YSRCP government, including Nadu-Nedu, Amma Vodi and English-medium education.
He urged the government to place students’ interests above political considerations and focus on strengthening the education system.
