Meanwhile, TDP spokesperson and MLA Julakanti Brahmananda Reddy on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the YSRCP, accusing the opposition party of continuing its "axe" attacks on candidates selected through the state's Mega DSC recruitment.
Addressing a press conference at the TDP Central Office in Mangalagiri, Reddy alleged that the YSRCP was attempting to create obstacles for newly recruited teachers instead of welcoming the appointment of young professionals.
“The YSRCP's 'axe' attacks on the newly recruited Mega DSC teachers continue,” Reddy said, alleging that the party had repeatedly attempted to obstruct the recruitment process.
