Members of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) led by Visakhapatnam district president K.K. Raju staged a protest in the city on Tuesday, demanding the resignation of IT and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh over the alleged irregularities in the recently conducted District Selection Committee (DSC) examinations.
The protesters dressed in black as a mark of protest, raised slogans against the State government and Mr. Lokesh, alleging that the recruitment process had been marred by irregularities.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Raju alleged that the State government had failed to conduct the DSC examinations in a fair and transparent manner. Drawing a comparison with the controversy surrounding the NEET examination, he said that just as the Union Education Minister was held accountable following the nationwide outrage over the alleged paper leak, Mr. Lokesh should also accept responsibility for the alleged lapses in the DSC examinations and resign from his post.
