AP’s ‘mega’ DSC, mega doubts
YSRCP is on the streets over Andhra Pradesh’s Mega DSC-2025. The TDP government says all clean. The paper trail so far? Exam dates, lists and a lot of noise — not proof. Telangana has seen this movie: when Delhi- or Amaravati-first politics fumble jobs, our people pay.
The government says the recruitment record is clean; key documents remain unavailable.
The record we can actually hold is thin and specific: Andhra Pradesh notified TRT–DSC-2025 on 20 April 2025 for 16,347 teacher posts, held computer-based tests from 6 June to 2 July, issued final keys on 12 August, a merit list on 22 September, and a selection list on 15 October. That is the government’s own paperwork speaking, not spin.
Everything else is a fight. The YSR Congress is leading protests, demanding a CBI probe and Nara Lokesh’s resignation. The TDP government says the exam used encryption, randomised papers and multiple sessions, no names were deleted, and sports-quota hires followed the rulebook. Those are their claims, and they still haven’t put the underlying orders and logs in public where they belong.
On the other side, protesters allege sidelining the convener, contract staff near question papers, suspicious sports-quota entries, even money demands. Big charges — with big gaps. The primary documents that would prove or kill them are not on the table: appointment proceedings, access logs, original and revised merit lists with reasons, the sports-certification trail, and the list of court cases.
What is solid is the existence of a 3% sports reservation that can allow direct recruitment. That does not, by itself, make any teacher’s appointment illegal. It just means the paperwork matters — and right now the TDP government is asking people to take it on faith.
For Telangana readers: this is next door and on a pipeline we share — teachers, recruits and families move across our border. When the BJP’s Delhi or the TDP’s Amaravati treat jobs like a PR set, our classrooms feel the shock. Put the files out or stop lecturing candidates about transparency. If it’s all clean, it should take an afternoon, not a bandh.
