YSRCP demands Lokesh resign before CBI probe into DSC scam
A group of politicians in a state in India says a big teacher-recruitment exam was not fair.
The exam is called the DSC.
They think some people got the question paper before the test.
They want a special police team called the CBI to investigate.
They also want the education minister to step down while the investigation happens.
They say a person who helped prepare the question paper scored very high.
They also complain that sports-quota certificates were fake or changed.
They do not want to cancel the exam or remove teachers who were already hired.
They just want to find out what really happened and help honest candidates.
YSRCP MLC Parvathareddy Chandrasekhar Reddy demanded an immediate CBI investigation into the Mega DSC-2025 scam.
He said Andhra Pradesh Education Minister Nara Lokesh must resign first to ensure a transparent and independent probe.
YSRCP clarified it is not seeking cancellation of the DSC exam or removal of appointed candidates, only an investigation.
The Purama Naveen episode was cited as central: an SCERT outsourcing employee secured first rank in one category and sixth in another, with evidence that question papers circulated among students and coaching centres.
YSRCP also alleged Sports Quota recruitment irregularities, tampering of certificates on the government website, and TET marks inflated by up to six in some sessions.
