Former Chief Minister and YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has launched a fiery political assault against Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Education Minister Nara Lokesh. At a high-stakes press conference in Tadepalli, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy threw down an uncompromising challenge: write a joint letter to the Central Government requesting an immediate Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into both the Mega DSC-2025 teacher recruitment and the APPSC Group-1 examination process.

Detailed Comparison of Claims and Administrative Facts
| Recruitment Controversy | Specific Charges Highlighted by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy | Official Record & Stand |
|---|---|---|
| Mega DSC Question Paper Leaks | Exam vendor gave question paper access to outsourcing employee Naveen, who secured top marks. His name was surreptitiously deleted in the 2nd merit list after exposure. | Education department claims standard digital scoring was upheld, but candidate logins were restricted. |
| Sports Quota Direct Appointments | 372 candidates were appointed without writing TET/DSC under special GOs (GO 4 & GO 47), which were then abruptly rescinded after preferred candidates were accommodated. | Coalition government invoked precedents like Olympian PV Sindhu’s appointment. |
| Cash-for-Jobs Corruption | Audio evidence and candidate statements (such as candidate Radhika) reveal job trades amounting to ₹14.10 Lakhs per candidate. | Coalition leaders admitted “procedural issues” in the Assembly but blocked discussions in the Legislative Council. |
| APPSC Group-1 Re-Evaluation | Coalition accused YSRCP of Group-1 irregularities to cover up the Mega DSC scam, risking the careers of 163 high-ranking officers. | Evaluation was conducted via manual paper valuation under full CCTV coverage as ordered by the AP High Court; CFSL verified no mark tampering occurred. |
Point-by-Point Breakdown of YS Jagan’s Exposure
1. The Mega DSC Question Paper & Merit List Scam
The setting of exam papers and the administration of the Mega DSC-2025 were entrusted to a single private entity, creating an unchecked environment for systemic corruption. An outsourcing employee named Naveen obtained unauthorized access to the papers, topping the merit list. When candidate protests exposed this breach, his name was quietly erased from the second merit list, forcing the candidate to approach the judiciary. Top-ranking zonal and district candidates were systematically denied verification call letters while merit scores were altered overnight.
2. The ₹14.10 Lakh Sports Quota Manipulation
The government executed a backdoor operation by passing specific Government Orders exempting 372 selected candidates from taking the mandatory DSC and TET examinations. Once these positions were filled, the government issued additional orders revoking the exemption rules to block other aspirants. Genuine national medalists—including a National Games Archery gold winner—were rejected, while non-sportspersons secured postings. Equating these 372 candidates to international sports icon PV Sindhu is a complete distortion of facts, as none of the selected candidates ever represented India internationally. Public audio recordings confirming cash transactions of ₹14.10 Lakhs for sports quota posts have gone completely uninvestigated by state authorities.
3. Group-1 Re-evaluation Reality Check
To divert public attention away from the Mega DSC scam, the TDP coalition manufactured allegations regarding the 2018/2020 APPSC Group-1 recruitment. The preliminary exam was conducted under Chandrababu Naidu’s previous government. The subsequent main exam evaluation was conducted under strict High Court supervision using jumbling protocols, barcoded answer sheets, and continuous CCTV surveillance. Official findings from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) confirmed that technical error logs were limited to scanning issues and that no marks were altered.
4. The Contrast in Governance
During the YSRCP administration, 1.30 lakh Secretariat jobs were filled seamlessly, transparently, and without a single paper leak or judicial stay. In contrast, the TDP coalition’s recruitment drives are defined by paper leaks, open bribery, and changing merit lists. Education Minister Nara Lokesh must resign immediately for betraying the state’s unemployed youth, and Chief Minister Naidu must accept a comprehensive CBI probe covering both recruitment exercises.
