Jagan slams Naidu over alleged attack on DSC protesters
In the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, two big political leaders are having a fight.
A leader named Mr. Jagan said that another leader, Chief Minister Mr. Naidu, used police to stop peaceful protesters.
The protesters are young people who want to become teachers.
They were upset because the questions for a big teacher exam, called DSC 2025, were leaked before the test.
The protesters wanted an important investigation called a CBI inquiry.
They also wanted Mr. Naidu's son, Mr. Lokesh, who is the education minister, to say sorry and leave his job.
Mr. Jagan said that tents were torn down and stones, eggs and tomatoes were thrown at the protesters in many towns.
He also said the government should pay students the money it owes, and give unemployed young people money every month.
Mr. Jagan said even the police cannot stop the anger of young people who want fairness.
YSRCP president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy slammed Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu over the alleged attack on cadres at a relay hunger strike in Vijayawada.
The hunger strike demands a CBI inquiry into the DSC 2025 paper leak and irregularities in teacher recruitment.
Jagan alleged a TDP MLA and his supporters pulled down tents and hurled stones, eggs and tomatoes at protesters in full view of police.
YSRCP is seeking the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh, the Chief Minister's son.
Jagan also demanded clearing Rs 9,000 crore in pending Vidya Deevena and Vasathi Deevena dues and a Rs 3,000 monthly unemployment allowance.
