YSRCP intensifies protest over Mega DSC teacher recruitment scam
A group in India called YSRCP is very upset with the state government.
The government chooses school teachers through a big test called Mega DSC.
YSRCP says the test was not fair and that the question paper was leaked.
Many students and young people who want jobs joined the protest.
They wore black scarves and went without food for a short time to show their feelings.
The protesters blame Mr. Nara Lokesh, the Education Minister.
They want him to leave his job and they want a big investigation called a CBI inquiry.
They also want the government to pay back money it owes to students and to give young people an allowance of Rs 3,000 every month.
They hope the government will listen to them and make things fair.
YSRCP intensified its agitation by launching relay hunger strikes in Nellore and Kovur over the alleged Mega DSC teacher recruitment scam.
Protesters, including students and unemployed youth wearing black scarves, demanded the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh.
YSRCP sought a CBI inquiry into alleged irregularities, including a question paper leak and favouritism toward ineligible candidates.
