EPS lashes out at DMK over NEET, gold loan waiver

AIADMK joint coordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami on Sunday asked, “Did the DMK garner votes by promising to scrap NEET only after discussing the issue with the AIADMK?” He was addressing party functionaries in Salem ahead of the launch of his campaign for urban local body elections.

His sharp criticism comes in response to DMK general secretary and Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan hitting out at the AIADMK for refusing to participate in the all party meeting to discuss the Governor’s decision to return the Bill against NEET. The DMK leader also accused that the AIADMK will suffer from guilt for imposing NEET. “The DMK’s youth wing secretary Udhayanidhi Stalin claimed to know the secret of scrapping NEET.

That secret is nothing but to scrap the exam by discussing the issue with AIADMK. The NEET was imposed by Congress with the support of the DMK. But the 7.5 per cent reservation brought in by the AIADMK has created an opportunity for 554 government school students to study medicine this year,” he said.
