Botcha Satyanarayana Demands CBI Probe into AP-DSC Recruitment

Standing at the Assembly Media Point, Satyanarayana challenged the legality of direct teacher appointments made under a sports quota, arguing these moves circumvented the established DSC examination process. He claims these administrative shortcuts have jeopardized the professional futures of 438 candidates. The opposition leader pointed to the absence of public merit lists and the emergence of leaked negotiation audio clips as evidence of a deeper lack of transparency within the current government.

Beyond the recruitment scandal, Satyanarayana criticized the administration for its refusal to extend the legislative session, a move he contends was necessary to address the escalating drought crisis facing the state’s farmers. The YSRCP has vowed to maintain pressure on the government, promising to force a formal discussion on the DSC irregularities during upcoming sessions in the Legislative Council.
