The DMK consistently opposed the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and ensured it did not set foot in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister M K Stalin claimed on Wednesday and accused the previous AIADMK regime of thrusting the test upon the State.
The travails due to enforcement of the eligibility test was because the AIADMK regime under K Palaniswami allowed the test to be conducted, despite DMK’s efforts to keep it at bay, he said as former Chief Minister Palaniswami sparred on the issue during a debate in the Assembly.
Attempting to pin down the DMK government over its election promise of scrapping the test for the State, Palaniswami, who is the leader of the opposition, while raising the issue, blamed the UPA regime of which the DMK was a constituent for introducing the national-level screening test.
