Telugu Desam Defends Mega DSC, Targets Jagan Over Recruitment Allegations
Defending the Mega DSC recruitment process, he said the examinations were being conducted through the TCS iON computer-based platform with encrypted question banks, randomised sessions and a three-tier grievance redressal mechanism.
Vijayawada: Telugu Desam national spokesperson Neelayapalem Vijay Kumar on Saturday defended the ongoing Mega DSC teacher recruitment process and criticised former chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for seeking a CBI inquiry into the examinations.
Addressing a press conference at the party’s central office in Mangalagiri, Vijay Kumar said the government had withheld the appointment of a DSC candidate whose credentials were under scrutiny, which, he said, reflected its commitment to transparency and accountability.
The TD leader alleged that the recruitment of 1.25 lakh Village and Ward Secretariat employees during the previous YSRC regime was marred by irregularities. He claimed that cases involving candidates allegedly linked to APPSC personnel handling confidential examination data and unusual selection patterns had raised concerns over the recruitment process.
Vijay Kumar further alleged that the previous government later relaxed qualifying criteria through a government order after a large number of technical posts remained vacant due to a shortage of eligible candidates. He also referred to allegations of political favouritism in recruitments during the YSRC tenure.
Defending the Mega DSC recruitment process, he said the examinations were being conducted through the TCS iON computer-based platform with encrypted question banks, randomised sessions and a three-tier grievance redressal mechanism.
He said response sheets, scores and merit lists had been placed in the public domain to ensure transparency.
