The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has accused the Andhra Pradesh government of blocking its social media accounts in a bid to restrict the party's political messaging. Party spokesperson Putta Siva Shankar said the obstructions would not deter the opposition from pursuing its campaign against alleged irregularities in the DSC recruitment process.
Shankar asserted that the YSRCP would shift its outreach efforts to alternative platforms and continue mobilizing public support around the issue. The party has made the DSC recruitment controversy a focal point of its criticism against the ruling government.
The allegations come amid heightened political tension in Andhra Pradesh, where the YSRCP has been leading an aggressive opposition stance. The party has framed the DSC issue as a matter of public interest and accountability in government recruitment procedures.
The development reflects ongoing tensions between the opposition and the state administration over control of public discourse channels. Both sides have previously accused each other of using administrative machinery for political purposes.
