₹14.5 lakh for a sports-quota desk. Ten months. Still no job.

She paid for a classroom. Ten months later she has a threat and a file that will not move.

Radhika, a District Selection Committee aspirant, has told Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy that Telugu Desam Party workers collected ₹14.5 lakh from her for a sports-quota School Assistant (Social) post. The post did not arrive. She says the police complaint is about ten months old. She says she is being threatened. The public card that carried her complaint into Tadepalli names Medikonda Jyothi and Adapa Bhanu Prakash.

This is not Thursday’s other DSC fight. That fight is the CBI demand — who set the paper, who ran the hall, why both locks sat in one officer’s hand. This is the money. A woman who was told a sports certificate and a bundle would buy a social-studies desk, and who is still waiting for the desk and for a chargesheet.

Sports quota in the Mega DSC was built to skip the written test. Government orders issued days before the 2025 notification — G.O. Ms. No. 4 and G.O. Ms. No. 47 — created a 3 percent horizontal reservation for meritorious sportspersons and allowed recruitment on the rank of a certificate, not a paper. The Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh later published a list. Of 382 people taken, 337 — 88 percent — went into classroom posts: mathematics, science, social studies, languages. Only a thin slice went into physical education. A social-studies School Assistant is exactly the kind of desk that list produced.

The Opposition has, for weeks, put a different number on the same market. Jagan has spoken of bargaining videos at about ₹15 lakh to ₹20 lakh a post, and of a clip that even showed a government logo on the wallpaper. Those are political exhibits. Radhika’s figure is smaller and harder. ₹14.5 lakh is a specific collection, for a named post, by named workers, that she says never delivered. A video of a rate is not a receipt. A receipt without a job is a cheat.

A police complaint that sleeps for ten months is the second cheat. A job-sale file is not a missing goat. It has a sum, a quota, a post code, and two names on a public card. If the station cannot find the collectors, it can still record the collection. If it has recorded the collection, it can still tell her why nobody has been called. Silence for three seasons is not investigation. It is a hint that the complaint is inconvenient.

She is now being threatened. That sentence should have moved the file by itself. A complainant who has already paid, already waited, and already named names does not invent a threat to stay interesting. She invents a threat because someone wants the names back.

The larger sports-quota weather is ugly enough without her. Certificates for a Khammam judo meet that, the Opposition says, never happened. Two silver medals in the same event, same year, same age group. Genuine medallists pushed aside for participation paper. The government answers that 382 of 421 sports-quota posts were filled on priority and rules, and that empty chairs prove there was no sale. Empty chairs do not explain a woman who paid ₹14.5 lakh and has no chair.

Do not collapse her into the CBI slogan. A central probe on paper-setting will not, by itself, return her money or arrest the people she named. A sports-quota cash complaint is a local crime with a public sum. Ten months is long enough to decide whether those two names are accused or alibis. Until the station writes that down, Andhra’s teacher recruitment has a price list and a victim who cannot get a first information report to stand up.
