YSRCP Demands CBI Inquiry Into Teacher Recruitment Irregularities

MLC Issac spearheaded the criticism, presenting evidence of what the party describes as systemic manipulation. He pointed to the case of Naveen Kumar, a top-ranked candidate who was reportedly denied a position in favor of outsourcing, as a primary example of administrative failure. Issac also highlighted technical irregularities, including the unexplained blocking of student IDs followed by erratic email communications, which he argued compromised the integrity of the selection process.

MLC Arun Kumar joined the calls for accountability, directly challenging Education Minister Nara Lokesh to provide a transparent account of the recruitment stages. While the state government maintains that no wrongdoing occurred and has promised to review candidate grievances through existing administrative channels, the YSRCP continues to insist that only a CBI inquiry can uncover the scope of the alleged misconduct.
