Jagan seeks CBI probe into Mega DSC ‘irregularities’, Lokesh’s resignation

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has demanded a CBI inquiry into alleged irregularities in the Mega DSC recruitment process and sought the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh.

In a post on X on Monday, Mr. Jagan questioned Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Mr. Lokesh’s assertion that the recruitment process was transparent. Those accused of irregularities could not “certify their own recruitment process” as fair, he said.

Referring to the incidents in Vijayawada, where YSRCP leaders, students and unemployed youth attempted to hold a rally demanding a CBI probe, Mr. Jagan alleged that the police blocked the protesters and resorted to a lathi-charge, while “goons, disguised as teachers” were allowed to attack them.
