The protest lasted three days and ended on Sunday.
The YSRC says many young people and students are upset because they cannot find jobs.
They also say the process of hiring people for government jobs is not fair.
The protest leaders want the Education Minister, Nara Lokesh, to leave his job.
A leader named Rahul Chakravarthy Reddy said the youth are 'burning with anger'.
He warned that if the government does not listen, there could be a huge protest like the ones seen in Delhi.
