Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday said that the DMK would not rest till it succeeded in getting exemption for Tamil Nadu from NEET for admissions to medical courses.
Speaking at a wedding in a DMK functionary’s family, Mr. Stalin made a reference to the protest organised by the party’s youth, student and medical wings against the test. Recounting the steps taken by the DMK government since it came to power in the State, Mr. Stalin said Governor R.N. Ravi had allowed a resolution adopted in the Assembly seeking exemption from the test to gather dust and did not send it to the President for assent. “We then readopted the resolution and sent it to him. Now the Bill is pending with the President. It is for the President to give nod to the Bill. The Governor has no power,” he said.
