Countering DMK president M.K. Stalin’s contention that the erstwhile DMK regime had not allowed the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) in Tamil Nadu, AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam on Saturday reiterated that the gazette notification about NEET was issued on December 27, 2010, when DMK’s S. Gandhiselvan was the Union Minister of State for Health.
In a statement, Mr. Panneerselvam said a notification that medical admissions would be held based on NEET from 2013-14, was issued on April 26, 2012 when the DMK was supporting the Central government. “So, who is primarily responsible for NEET? No one can dispute that it was the DMK and the Congress government at the Centre,” he charged.
