The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) stages protests in Anantapur and publicly calls for a CBI investigation into alleged irregularities in the Mega DSC-2025 recruitment process, particularly involving the sports quota. Party leaders allege that rules are violated at multiple stages of the recruitment and ask for accountability from senior officials.

YSRCP spokespersons also accuse the police of repression during the demonstrations. The party’s demands include the resignation of HRD Minister Nara Lokesh, linking the recruitment controversy to alleged lapses in the implementation of quota rules. While the outlets describe the same broad allegation and the same call for a CBI probe, they emphasize different elements of the party’s campaign: one article highlights the specific claim of sports-quota rule violations, while another focuses on the recruitment irregularities and the protest-related police response.
