Youth Welfare and Sports Development Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Sunday said he was ready to listen to Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi, and would speak in favour of NEET, if Mr. Ravi contests an election against an ordinary cadre of the DMK and wins.
“Resign from your post. Select a constituency. Meet the people and explain your ideology. The people of Tamil Nadu will beat you with chappals,” he said, while participating in a fast demanding the scrapping of NEET by the youth wing, the students’ wing and the medical wing of the DMK.
Mr. Udhayanidhi, who is also the leader of the party’s youth wing, said the Governor had the temerity and the arrogance to say that he will never give clearance to the Bill against NEET. “Who are you, Mr. Governor? What authority do you have? Are you a people’s representative? You are a postman. You carry the messages of the Chief Minister to the Union government,” he said.
