Naidu Defends Mega DSC Recruitment, Dares YSRCP to Debate
The Andhra Pradesh government is talking about how it hired new teachers for government schools.
The Chief Minister, Chandrababu Naidu, said the hiring process was fair and based only on merit.
He said there was no cheating, no favoritism, and no backdoor entries.
He also challenged the opposition party to come and debate the issue in the Assembly.
The Education Minister, Nara Lokesh, said the opposition party filed many court cases to try to stop the hiring.
He said the government still finished the process and followed all the rules.
The government also promised to hold this teacher hiring exam every single year.
But the opposition party, YSRCP, says there were problems with the process.
They are asking for a special investigation by the CBI.
The government says even people who did not get jobs agreed the process was fair.
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu defended the Mega DSC recruitment in the Assembly, saying there was no backdoor entry, favouritism or manipulation.
Naidu challenged YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy to debate the selections in the House, accusing the party of 'hit-and-run' politics.
Education Minister Nara Lokesh said YSRCP filed 141 cases in 148 days to stall the Mega DSC, which withstood judicial scrutiny.
Lokesh announced the NDA government will conduct the DSC every year as a commitment to unemployed youth.
YSRCP MLC Botcha Satyanarayana challenged the government to order a CBI probe into alleged DSC-2025 irregularities.
