Chandrababu Naidu after his government assumed office. However, he alleged that despite nearly ten months having passed since then, the recruitment process had remained mired in controversies, legal disputes and administrative lapses.He said accusations had surfaced that some appointments were made without candidates appearing for the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) or the DSC examination. He alleged that candidates originally selected under the prescribed recruitment norms were replaced by others under the Sports Quota category.The CPI leader also cited allegations that fake sports certificates may have been used to secure employment benefits, and argued that the explanations provided by officials had failed to address public concerns adequately.Meanwhile, CPI(M) also demanded a comprehensive inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the Sports Quota recruitment process under the DSC teacher recruitment drive.In a statement, CPI(M) State secretary V. Srinivasa Rao alleged that serious questions had emerged regarding the Sports Quota selection process.
