YSRCP launches three-day State-wide protest seeking CBI probe into ‘DSC irregularities’
The YSRCP has initiated a three-day state-wide protest across Andhra Pradesh, demanding a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the DSC-2025 teacher recruitment process. The demonstrations have led to clashes between YSRCP and TDP workers in several districts.
Why it matters
Escalating political violence between major parties in Andhra Pradesh poses a risk to public order and reflects deep-seated legislative tensions.
The YSRCP on Thursday organised relay hunger strikes across the State, demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the DSC-2025 teacher recruitment process and the resignation of HRD Minister Nara Lokesh.
The protest in Vijayawada turned tense after workers of the TDP and YSRCP clashed at Muthyalampadu.
The protest, led by former MLA Malladi Vishnu, was part of the YSRCP’s three-day State-wide agitation. Tension escalated after the TDP leaders, led by Vijayawada Central MLA Bonda Umamaheswara Rao, reached the venue and objected to the protest, alleging that it had been organised without official permission. Heated arguments between the two groups soon developed into scuffles, prompting police intervention.
