YSRC Leaders Demand CBI Probe Into DSC Recruitment Irregularities
In the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, some people believe there were problems with the way teachers were hired through a process called DSC recruitment.
A political group called the YSRC, which is currently in opposition, wants a special investigating agency called the CBI to look into the matter.
On Monday, YSRC leaders and supporters rode motorcycles in rallies to make their demand heard.
They also asked the education minister, Nara Lokesh, to leave his job, saying he is responsible for the problems.
The leaders said the government owes colleges money it promised to pay back so students could study without worry.
They also asked the government to give a monthly allowance of 3,000 rupees to young people who cannot find work.
A former lawmaker named Jakkampudi Raja wanted to join the protests, but police kept him at home.
The police in some towns said the YSRC was not allowed to hold rallies.
The YSRC says the government is stopping their protests because it is afraid of losing the next election.
The government has not agreed to the YSRC's demands according to the reports.
YSRC leaders, led by former minister Kurasala Kannababu, held a bike rally from Turangi to Karapa demanding a CBI probe into alleged DSC recruitment irregularities.
Protesters demanded the resignation of education minister Nara Lokesh, holding him responsible for the alleged irregularities.
Party leaders called on the government to release fee reimbursement arrears to colleges and provide a ₹3,000 monthly stipend to unemployed youth.
Police placed former Rajanagaram MLA Jakkampudi Raja under house arrest on Sunday to stop him from joining the agitation.
YSRC leaders alleged the alliance government is suppressing protests because it fears defeat in the 2029 elections.
