Jagan Challenges Naidu Over CBI Probe Into Andhra Exams
YS Jagan Mohan Reddy says two Andhra Pradesh recruitment examinations should be investigated.
He wants the Central Bureau of Investigation, or CBI, to examine DSC-2025 and the APPSC Group-I examinations.
He says the 2018 Group-I examination was conducted fairly and followed court directions.
He claims DSC-2025 had problems involving the question paper and the way the test was conducted.
He referred to an employee named Naveen, who allegedly accessed the paper and later had his name removed from a merit list.
Reddy also questioned how sports-quota rules were changed.
He said 372 people received jobs through that process.
The government reportedly defended the rules by referring to a job given to P V Sindhu.
These are allegations, and the articles do not report that a CBI inquiry has been ordered.
YS Jagan Mohan Reddy challenged Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to order a CBI inquiry into alleged irregularities in DSC-2025 and APPSC Group-I examinations.
Reddy defended the 2018 Group-I recruitment process as transparent and conducted under court directions.
He alleged that DSC-2025 was vulnerable to leakage and manipulation because one institution handled both question-paper setting and examination conduct.
Reddy cited outsourcing employee Naveen, who allegedly accessed the question paper, topped a merit list and later had his name removed from a second list.
He alleged that changes to sports-quota orders led to 372 appointments and questioned the government’s defense involving P V Sindhu’s appointment.
