Hours after boycotting the ‘At Home’ reception hosted by Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Thursday evening wrote to the former, expressing pain over the holding up of the NEET exemption Bill.
He reminded the Governor of the need to discharge constitutional duties constructively in the best interest of the people of the State, while pointing to the cordiality and productive relationship enjoyed by the two and official protocols and courtesies extended to the constitutional head of the State till now.
The Chief Minister, scheduled to participate in a function to unveil a statue of national poet Subramania Bharathiar at Raj Bhavan, had boycotted the event and the tea party with his Cabinet colleagues after the Governor did not commit himself on the NEET Bill during a meeting with two Ministers in the morning. The ruling DMK’s allies, too, stayed away, while the Opposition parties, including the AIADMK, the BJP, the PMK and the TMC, participated in the functions.
