YSR Congress Party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy challenges the Andhra Pradesh government to order a CBI investigation into the District Selection Committee (DSC). He accuses the state authorities of reviving a long-running controversy around Group I recruitment to protect Lokesh, and he calls for a federal probe despite recent proceedings.
According to The Hindu, Jagan points to an SIT set up by the present government that, he says, finds no irregularities in Group I recruitment. He also says his party has written to the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister seeking a CBI inquiry into the 2025 DSC. The Times of India similarly frames the challenge as a direct dare to Naidu, linking the demand to the Group I dispute.
Lokesh’s response, as reported by The Hindu, is that he cannot distinguish APPSC from DSC, indicating a dispute over the administration and accountability for examination and recruitment processes. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis—one highlights the political confrontation and the Group I angle, while the other details the justification for a CBI request and the status of the earlier SIT findings.
