YSRCP demands CBI probe into DSC irregularities, Lokesh's resignation
YSRCP is a political party in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
The party says there were problems with a big exam used to hire teachers, called the DSC.
Because of these problems, the party asked a special detective agency called the CBI to investigate.
The party also wants the education minister, Nara Lokesh, to leave his job.
Party members wanted to hold a protest rally in the city of Visakhapatnam.
The police said the rally could not happen because permission was not given.
Police blocked the leaders and took several of them into detention.
The party says the government has failed in education, including not paying money promised to students for their fees.
The party also says the government has not answered questions about exams, hiring and sports quota.
Now the two sides are arguing about what should happen next.
YSRCP leaders demanded a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the District Selection Committee-2025 (DSC) recruitment process.
The party called for Education Minister Nara Lokesh's resignation ahead of the proposed probe.
Police detained YSRCP leaders in Visakhapatnam, including district president KK Raju, after blocking a rally held without permission.

YSRCP MLC Botcha Satyanarayana accused the government of failing on exams, recruitment, sports quota and fee reimbursement.
