Lokesh must Quit over DSC Scam

Tadepalli, August 12: YSRCP spokesperson and MLA Tatiparthi Chandrasekhar demanded the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh and a CBI probe into the DSC paper leaks, recruitment irregularities and injustice to meritorious candidates.

He said the coalition government turned the District Selection Committee into a “Dining Selection Committee,” distributing jobs to those backed by TDP leaders while more than 32,000 complaints were received over 16,000 recruitments. He said a SCERT employee who secured first rank was denied counselling, while a viral video showed a person demanding ₹15 lakh for a DSC job. G.O. Nos. 4 and 47 were brought in to facilitate irregular appointments and later withdrawn, he said.

Chandrasekhar also demanded a CBI probe into Sports Quota selections, stating that deserving national-level sportspersons were denied opportunities while politically connected candidates secured jobs. He said YSRCP would continue its agitation until Lokesh resigned, a CBI inquiry was ordered and justice was delivered to affected candidates.

On Veligonda, he said YSR and YS Jagan completed crucial works, including both tunnels. He condemned attempts to evict displaced families without completing R&R compensation, stating that nearly 1,100 names were still excluded from the award list. He warned that YSRCP would stand with the displaced families and lay siege to the Collectorate if justice was denied.
