YSRCP Krishna District President and former Minister Perni Venkatramaiah (Nani) announced a state-wide agitation against the alleged irregularities in the DSC-2025 recruitment process, demanding a CBI probe and the resignation of state Education Minister Nara Lokesh.
Speaking at the YSRCP central office, he said the party would launch a phased protest programme beginning with representations to District Collectors on July 31, followed by constituency-level Town Hall meetings on August 3 and 4, relay hunger strikes in all Assembly constituencies from August 6 to 9, and constituency-level rallies across the State on August 10. He warned that the agitation would be intensified if the government failed to respond. Nani alleged that the recruitment process was compromised from the outset by replacing the DSC Convenor appointed during the previous YSRCP government and concentrating both question paper preparation and examination management under SCERT. He said confidential work, including question paper uploading and digitisation, was entrusted to outsourcing employees, one of whom later emerged as a district topper before his appointment was cancelled and a revised merit list was issued. He questioned why merit lists were never displayed at Collectorates, why the top-ranked candidate disappeared from the list, and why the government continued to evade these questions. He further alleged that the government changed Sports Quota rules through fresh G.Os., exempted candidates from TET and DSC qualifications, and later reversed those rules after completing appointments. Questioning the quality of recruitment, he asked how candidates appointed under the Sports Quota could teach core subjects such as Mathematics and Science. He also referred to appointments linked to sports associations headed by TDP leaders and relatives of Minister Lokesh. Perni Nani reiterated that only a CBI investigation could uncover the truth behind the DSC recruitment process. He demanded the immediate resignation of Nara Lokesh, release of pending fee reimbursement dues, implementation of the promised monthly unemployment allowance, and justice for every DSC aspirant.
