Hyderabad: BRS MLC Dr. Sravan Dasoju accused the Congress government of betraying Telangana’s unemployed youth by defending what he called a tainted Group-I exam process. He demanded complete cancellation of the evaluation and warned Chief Minister Revanth Reddy not to appeal against the Telangana High Court’s ruling.
On 9 September, the High Court struck down the Group-I Mains examination conducted by TGPSC, calling it biased and negligent. Judges cancelled the merit list and ruled that the evaluation was unfit to decide the future of lakhs of aspirants. He said the Commission failed in both procedure and evaluation, leaving Telangana’s youth as the real sufferers.

The BRS MLC listed multiple irregularities, including dual hall tickets, biased centre allotments, mechanical marking, and use of unqualified evaluators. He pointed out that 1,369 candidates received identical marks in sequence, proving fake evaluations. Telugu medium aspirants also faced discrimination, while failed candidates were added to the merit list. He called the process “an open-air slaughterhouse for dreams.”
He criticised the replacement of G.O. 55 with G.O. 29, which he said denied BC, SC, and ST aspirants their rightful share. The new rule forced meritorious candidates into quota seats, drastically reducing opportunities. Families who sacrificed land, jewellery, and income to support their children’s IAS dreams, he said, saw those efforts wasted by arbitrary marking and biased selection.
The BRS leader demanded a fresh exam with UPSC-level safeguards such as single hall tickets, biometric attendance, randomised centres, anonymised scripts, and moderated evaluation. He also pressed for reinstatement of G.O. 55, abolition of G.O. 29, a judicial probe into TGPSC, and withdrawal of police cases against protesting students.
Sravan declared that Revanth Reddy faced a moral test. He warned that history would not forgive the government if it shielded tainted officials instead of supporting Telangana’s youth.
