AP’s ‘clean chit’ without the order
Andhra’s TDP government waves off DSC-2025 allegations as “false propaganda” and threatens cases. What it has not shown Telangana — or its own candidates — is the independent order that actually settles them.
The government says the questions are settled; the order has not been made public.
The TDP government in Andhra Pradesh wants the Mega DSC-2025 fight over quickly. Its School Education Department says 15,941 teacher posts were filled “in record time”, with digital locks, password changes and grievance windows — and warns of defamation and criminal cases for anyone calling foul. That is the talking point, not the audit. (According to department statements reported on May 27 and June 12.)
At a joint briefing, senior officials rejected paper-leak and corruption charges, described access as restricted to two permanent officials, and laid out the 20% TET + 80% DSC formula. They also offered a sports‑quota headcount and a case‑by‑case explanation for a rejected athlete. Useful colour. Not an inquiry. (Per the June 12 briefing.)
TDP’s Nara Lokesh went further: opposition is spreading “false propaganda”, and courts, he said, have given a “clean chit”. If there is a judgment that answers paper security, merit‑list publication and reservations in one stroke, the TDP‑led government can publish the case numbers and the orders today. It hasn’t. (His claim was reported on May 29.)
On the other side, the YSRCP throws the kitchen sink — leaks, withheld lists, price‑fixing — on its own site. Allegations are not evidence either. If there is an FIR, a petition, a forensic, put the number on the table. The party hasn’t in the material we can see. (These are YSRCP’s claims, published by YSRCP.)
Here is what the record actually shows so far: the TDP‑run department asserting transparency, rejecting irregularities and threatening legal action — and no publicly available, independent probe that closes the questions it calls “rumours”. If the BJP‑led Centre wants to get serious about exam integrity, Andhra is a live test: less chest‑thumping about “rumour‑mongers”, more documents. The TDP government in Andhra still hasn’t produced them.
