Chennai sources have stated that the opposition DMK accused the Tamilnadu government of seeking a "temporary solution" for the state's exemption from the ambit of NEET for this year. Meanwhile DMK working president MK Stalin said the AIADMK regime in the state was trying only for a "temporary solution" to get exemption from NEET "at least for this year."
According to sources on a day when Chief Minister K Palaniswami met Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking exemption from NEET, Mr. Stalin, also Leader of the Opposition in the assembly, said government should not try for a temporary solution by "pledging" the state's rights and added that this is against the spirit of bills adopted in Tamilnadu Assembly which were aimed at a permanent solution.
Further the DMK leader said only the rich could go for special coaching for such exams and not those from rural areas or belonging to oppressed sections. Moreover he exhorted the general public to take part in the July 27 human chain protest across Tamil Nadu to oppose the Centre's "hegemony" of NEET.
