TDP MLCs accuse YSRCP of deliberately provoking DSC-2025 candidates
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLCs Bhumireddy Ramagopal Reddy and Kancharla Srikanth accused the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) of deliberately provoking candidates of the DSC-2025 teacher recruitment exam. They asserted that the final selection list was released transparently after thorough examination of objections on September 15, 2025, under expert scrutiny from the State Council of Educational Research & Training (SCERT). The MLCs refuted YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy's allegations as falsehoods aimed at political mileage. They challenged Jagan to an open debate on the matter and on a purported 'DSC scam' during his father Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's tenure as Chief Minister. The TDP leaders also clarified that the list of 65 sports mentioned on the portal was approved by the Centre via gazette notification, with no additions by the coalition government.
