*Mega DSC turned into Mega Scam*

Tadepalli, May 26: YSRCP MLA Tatiparthi Chandrasekhar alleged that the Chandrababu Naidu-led coalition government had converted Mega DSC–2025 into a large-scale corruption racket where teacher jobs were secured through money, manipulation, and leaks instead of merit. Speaking at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli, he said the government cancelled the DSC notification issued during the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy government only to relaunch it with massive publicity, but eventually turned it into what he called a “Fraud DSC” that cheated unemployed youth across the state.

The MLA stated that the recruitment process was marred by paper leaks, deleted data, hidden merit lists, and large-scale irregularities in sports quota appointments. He remarked that the coalition government had effectively transformed DSC into “D for Deception, S for Suitcase, and C for Collection,” accusing ruling party leaders of using the recruitment drive as a money collection mechanism. He questioned how the same individual who prepared and uploaded the examination paper could also emerge as the Krishna district topper in the final results, calling it one of the biggest scams under the coalition government.

Tatiparthi Chandrasekhar said that the entire examination process was handled by a closed network of individuals who controlled question paper preparation, uploads, result processing, and secret SMS communication to selected candidates. He questioned why the government failed to release full merit lists publicly and why information was selectively communicated only to chosen candidates. He further alleged that people with no real sports background managed to secure teacher jobs under the sports quota while genuine aspirants were sidelined.

The MLA also targeted Education Minister Nara Lokesh, accusing him of turning the IT Department into an “Illegal Technology Department” and dismantling key education reforms introduced during the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy government. He stated that the previous YSRCP government transformed public education through reforms like digital classrooms, English-medium instruction, student tabs, and infrastructure upgrades under Nadu-Nedu, whereas the present government had weakened the education system through negligence and mismanagement.

Tatiparthi Chandrasekhar demanded that the government come clean on the Mega DSC controversy, release complete merit lists, explain the deletion of data, and respond to allegations surrounding paper leaks and recruitment manipulation. He said unemployed youth across Andhra Pradesh were deeply distressed and accused the coalition government of betraying aspirants who prepared for years with hopes of securing teacher jobs on merit.
