Jagan Intensifies Attacks on Naidu Over Alleged DSC Scam
Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy says there may have been problems in hiring teachers through DSC.
He questioned how one candidate passed seven checks but was later called ineligible.
Officials reportedly said the candidate had an older TET score of 77 marks.
Jagan asked why that score was not used earlier.
He also asked why the candidate took the test again in 2025.
Jagan said the changing explanations create more questions for teacher applicants.
He cited another case involving allegedly false sports documents and an event that Nagarjuna University reportedly could not confirm.
He wants Education Minister Nara Lokesh to resign and wants the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate.
Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy accused the Andhra Pradesh government of irregularities in teacher recruitment through DSC.
He questioned how a candidate passed seven verification stages despite being declared ineligible by the district education officer.
Jagan challenged officials’ explanation that the candidate had scored 77 marks in a 2018 TET attempt.
He questioned why the candidate appeared for TET again in 2025 if the earlier score established eligibility.
Jagan also cited alleged problems involving sports certificates and demanded Nara Lokesh’s resignation and a Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry.
