Reddy told reporters that the recruitment process for the District Secondary School (DSC) teacher posts was marred by serious procedural flaws, prompting his call for a CBI probe to restore confidence among job aspirants.
He alleged that the same SCERT Director oversaw both the preparation of the question paper and the conduct of the examination, while outsourced personnel were given control over the entire process, raising concerns about impartiality.
According to Reddy, a candidate named Naveen, who topped the merit list in Krishna district, was inexplicably removed from the final list, a move he described as evidence of manipulation.
The chief minister also questioned the legitimacy of appointments made under sports‑quota government orders 4 and 47, claiming that 372 candidates were appointed without any examination, contrary to later orders 23, 25 and 56 that mandated a competitive test.
He further alleged that many of those appointed had submitted forged sports certificates, urging investigators to examine the authenticity of the documents used in the hiring process.
Reddy referenced an audio and video clip that purportedly shows negotiations over DSC jobs, noting that the individual implicated had not been arrested despite the phone number being publicly visible.
Turning to the incident at the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) office, Reddy said YSRCP had sought permission for a peaceful protest, but supporters of the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) organized a parallel demonstration that turned violent and targeted YSRCP protesters.
He claimed that police filed cases against YSRCP leaders, workers and unemployed youth, registering about 350 bookings, including charges under the attempt‑to‑murder provision and the SC/ST Act.
Reddy invoked the Supreme Court’s observations in the Sai Krishna custodial‑death case to highlight what he described as police excesses under the current government.
Concluding his meeting with the governor, Reddy demanded the resignation of the state HRD Minister, holding the minister responsible for the alleged recruitment irregularities and the handling of the SAAP incident.
