Jagan dares government to CBI probe on DSC; Lokesh says he can’t tell APPSC from DSC
Former Andhra Pradesh CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has challenged the current government to a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the 2025 DSC recruitment. The ruling party has dismissed the claims, accusing the opposition of political distraction.
Why it matters
The dispute highlights ongoing political tensions in Andhra Pradesh regarding public sector recruitment transparency and administrative accountability.
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday (August 20, 2026) sharpened his attack on the TDP-led coalition government, throwing an open challenge to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Education Minister Nara Lokesh to agree to a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the alleged irregularities in the 2025 Mega DSC recruitment.
Addressing a press conference at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli, Mr. Jagan accused the coalition government of raking up allegations over the APPSC Group-I recruitment conducted during the previous YSRCP government to divert attention from the DSC controversy.
