The State Platform for Common School System-Tamil Nadu (SPCSS-TN) has alleged that the clarifications sought by the Union government on the Bill passed by the State government to dispense with the National Eligibility-cum Entrance Test (NEET) was only a delaying tactic.
In a memorandum to the Tamil Nadu government, P.B. Prince Gajendra Babu, general secretary, SPCSS-TN, contended that the Centre was challenging the Constitution’s federal structure by not recommending the Bill for President’s assent.
He said the memorandum, shared with the State government for its consideration, had responses to the clarifications sought by the Union government. To a question on whether the State Legislature was competent to pass such a legislation, he said the subject matter of the Bill fell well within the competence of the State government and not the Centre.
