Somireddy Mocks YSRC DSC Protests as 'Gen-F, Gen-GF' Led
Somireddy is a political leader from a place called Sarvepalli.
Another group, called the YSR Congress Party, held protests because they wanted the government to announce new teaching jobs.
Somireddy went to watch these protests in a few towns.
He said he mostly saw older people, not the young people the protests were supposed to be about.
He joked that they were 'fathers and grandfathers' pretending to be young.
He said the government already hired 16,400 teachers.
He also said more teaching jobs would be announced in November or December.
He told the protest leaders to stop fooling people and understand the real situation.
Sarvepalli MLA Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy mocked YSR Congress protests demanding a DSC teacher recruitment notification.
He said the agitation was dominated by 'Gen-F (fathers) and Gen-GF (grandfathers)' rather than Gen-Z youth.
Somireddy said he witnessed YSRC hunger strikes in Nellore City, Nellore Rural and Sarvepalli on Saturday.
He contrasted the YSRC protests with a Mega DSC teachers' demonstration at Kondareddy Buruju in Kurnool.
The government has already filled 16,400 teacher posts, with thousands more vacancies expected to be filled in November or December.
