SAAP Chief Alleges Corruption in Previous Government's Group-1 Recruitment
Ravi Naidu is a leader in charge of sports in a part of India called Andhra Pradesh.
He gave a speech in a city called Tirupati.
He said something bad happened with a test called Group-1.
People take this test to get important government jobs.
He said that when the old government was in charge, the people who checked the tests cheated.
He said people who should not have won the jobs got higher marks.
He even said an electrician checked about 300 test papers and got a lot of money.
He also said around 48,000 answer sheets were swapped for copies.
He wants the old leader, Jagan Mohan Reddy, to leave his job because many young people lost their chance at jobs.
We do not know if everything he said is true because these are his claims.
