Telangana Rashtra Samithi floor leader Etela Rajender demanded the suspension of Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) Chairman Y Venkatarami Reddy, on Wednesday.
Talking to media persons at the TRS legislature party office, Rajender demanded stringent action against the 'corrupt' chairman as his name figured in scams involving several recruitment exams being conducted by the APPSC.
Rajender also urged the government to cancel the Group-1 Preliminary examination which was conducted on September 5th. He also said that the government should make its stand clear on demands of reserving 42% of the jobs for people from the Telangana region in APPSC recruitments.
The TRS leader urged the government to conduct the examination afresh by implementing the 42% quota.
"Though Telangana Ministers, MPs and MLAs opposed the conduct of the Group-1 examination, the government went ahead with its decision, not protecting the interests of Telangana students," Rajender alleged.
Rajender also claimed that although Telangana students performed well in the written test, the Commission awarded them lower marks in the interviews.
The TRS leader warned that the government would be held responsible for serious consequences if it did not initiate action in this direction.
Meanwhile, party MLA K T Rama Rao said that the Telangana Political Joint Action Committee would obey whatever decision is taken by the party on the celebration of Telangana Liberation Day.
Rajender appealed to the Chief Minister to issue orders to celebrate the event officially across the State.
Reacting to the Chief Minister's statement urging parties to celebrate Telangana Liberation Day in party offices, he asked Rosaiah to explain reasons for not declaring the event official so far.
