The DSC issue triggered intense political turmoil in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council. YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) teacher MLCs moved an adjournment motion demanding a discussion on the DSC-2025 recruitment process. However, after the Legislative Council Chairman rejected the motion, opposition MLCs rushed to the podium and staged a strong protest.
The YSRCP MLCs raised slogans demanding that the government allow a discussion on DSC-2025 and protested in a manner that disrupted the proceedings. The situation turned tense as the Chairman continued with the Question Hour despite the opposition’s protest.
The confrontation escalated further when the MLCs surrounded the Chairman, raised slogans demanding the resignation of Minister Nara Lokesh, and engaged in a heated exchange with Minister Atchannaidu and YSRCP leader Botsa Satyanarayana.
DSC Issue Triggers Major Disruption in Council
The dispute began when YSRCP teacher MLCs demanded a discussion on allegations and irregularities related to the DSC-2025 recruitment process conducted in the state.
Seeking an immediate discussion on the issue, the YSRCP MLCs submitted an adjournment motion. However, the Chairman rejected the motion, prompting strong protests from the opposition members.
The MLCs questioned why the government was not allowing a discussion on DSC-2025 and moved towards the podium, demanding that the issue be taken up in the House.
Adjournment Motion Rejected, MLCs Protest at Podium
The YSRCP MLCs staged a protest at the podium after their demand for a discussion on DSC was turned down. They raised slogans demanding the resignation of Minister Lokesh.
Despite the opposition protest, the Chairman proceeded with the Question Hour. This further angered the YSRCP MLCs, who surrounded the Chairman and insisted that the DSC issue be taken up for discussion.
The opposition members made it clear that they would continue their protest until they were given an opportunity to raise the issue in the Council.
Question Hour Continues Amid Opposition Protest
The YSRCP MLCs objected to continuing the Question Hour without taking up the DSC issue. They demanded an opportunity to speak in the House and insisted that the government respond to allegations surrounding the recruitment process.
The decision to continue the proceedings without allowing a discussion on DSC led to further tension inside the Council. For some time, the situation remained highly disorderly, with slogans and protests disrupting the proceedings.
Minister Atchannaidu’s Remarks Against Botsa Spark Row
The confrontation over the DSC issue took another turn when Minister Atchannaidu made strong remarks against opposition leader Botsa Satyanarayana.
During the heated exchange, Atchannaidu reportedly referred to Botsa as “daddamma”, triggering strong objections in the House.
Botsa Satyanarayana strongly condemned the remarks and said that such language against the Leader of the Opposition was inappropriate. He demanded that Atchannaidu withdraw his comments and apologize.
YSRCP Insists: “There Must Be a Discussion on DSC”
YSRCP MLCs maintained that the government has a responsibility to answer questions surrounding the DSC-2025 recruitment process.
They demanded that allegations, doubts and concerns regarding the recruitment process be discussed on the floor of the House. The opposition alleged that the government was attempting to avoid scrutiny by refusing to allow a discussion on the issue.
The YSRCP MLCs also questioned the decision to continue the Question Hour while keeping what they described as an important public issue aside.
The repeated protests resulted in disruptions to the Council proceedings. The Chairman adjourned the House at around 10:15 AM, and the proceedings resumed at 12:05 PM. The opposition again pressed for a discussion on DSC, leading to renewed tension. The House was adjourned again at 12:11 PM and resumed at around 1:38 PM, with the political confrontation over the DSC issue continuing.
Opposition Demands Government Accountability
The YSRCP MLCs insisted that they should be given an opportunity to raise their objections regarding the DSC recruitment process in the Council.
They questioned what the government was trying to hide by refusing to allow a discussion on the issue and demanded a clear response from the government.
The ruling side, meanwhile, attempted to continue the scheduled proceedings. The disagreement between the two sides intensified, eventually turning the DSC dispute into a broader political confrontation involving personal remarks and heated exchanges.
DSC Issue Turns into a Political Flashpoint
The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council witnessed high drama as the YSRCP MLCs pressed for a discussion on DSC-2025, while the Chairman rejected their adjournment motion and continued with the Question Hour.
The opposition’s protest at the podium, slogans demanding Lokesh’s resignation, the MLCs surrounding the Chairman, and the heated exchange between Minister Atchannaidu and Botsa Satyanarayana turned the Council into the centre of a major political confrontation.
The key question now is whether the government will allow a detailed discussion on the allegations surrounding DSC-2025 recruitment or continue with the scheduled proceedings.
With the opposition insisting on a debate and the government facing pressure to respond, the DSC issue is likely to remain a major political flashpoint in Andhra Pradesh.
