TDP says YSRCP irregularities claims on DSC recruitment baseless
Some people from a political party called YSRCP said the way the government picked new teachers for schools was not fair.
Another political party, called TDP, said that is not true.
A TDP leader, Chejerla Venkateswara Reddy, spoke to reporters in Nellore to explain his side.
He said the government filled 16,347 teacher jobs in just 148 days.
He said many court cases were filed during the process, but the government still finished the job properly.
He said the state's education minister, Nara Lokesh, did an honest and open job.
YSRCP asked the High Court twice to look into the matter, but the court said no because YSRCP did not show any proof.
The TDP leader also said YSRCP did not hire new teachers at all during its five years in power, even though it promised to.
He believes the complaints are being made only to make the minister look bad.
TDP Nellore Parliament general secretary Chejerla Venkateswara Reddy dismissed YSRCP's allegations of irregularities in the DSC teacher recruitment as 'baseless and politically motivated'.
The coalition government filled 16,347 teacher posts within 148 days despite 243 court cases filed after the DSC notification.
Chejerla credited Education Minister Nara Lokesh for completing the recruitment process in a transparent manner.
YSRCP MLC Parvathareddy Chandrasekhar Reddy's two High Court PILs were dismissed due to the party's failure to produce documentary evidence.
Chejerla noted no teacher training recruitment was taken up during YSRCP's five-year tenure despite its 2019 election promises.
