Why it matters
Public protests over government recruitment processes highlight significant tensions regarding youth unemployment and administrative transparency.
The YSR Congress Party on Tuesday intensified its state-wide agitation against the alleged irregularities in the Mega DSC-2025 teacher recruitment process, with coordinated protests held across Andhra Pradesh under the banner of its student and youth wings. Demonstrations took place in Vijayawada, Nellore, Tirupati, Nandyal and several other districts, while police stopped a proposed rally in Narasannapeta, triggering tense scenes.
The YSRCP demanded the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh, holding him morally accountable for the alleged irregularities in the recruitment process. Protesters also sought a CBI probe into the Mega DSC recruitment, alleging question paper leaks, irregularities in Sports Quota appointments and denial of opportunities to deserving candidates. They further raised issues including the NEET paper leak controversy, pending fee reimbursement dues worth over Rs. 7,000 crore and the coalition government's failure to implement its promise of providing unemployment allowance.
