CPI(M) condemns ‘lathi charge’ against YSRCP workers, seeks judicial probe into DSC sports quota recruitments

The CPI(M) State committee condemned the alleged lathi charge against YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) workers and unemployed youth protesting the sports quota appointments under the District Selection Committee (DSC) recruitment.

In a statement on Tuesday (September 22, 2026), CPI(M) State secretary V. Srinivasa Rao said political parties, associations, and organisations had a fundamental right in a democracy to bring their grievances to the notice of the government through protests. Denying them that right was undemocratic, he added.
