No kid will take decision of suicide now: Tamil Nadu CM Stalin
Tamil Nadu Cheif Minister MK Stalin who has always opposed the NEET and even brought a bill to scrap the entrance test, expressed shock on the news. He said the bill will be removed soon.
He assured the kids in the state they will not have to take pressure of qualifying NEET to take admission in a medical college saying that the government is actively working to do away with the system. He called NEET ‘an hurdle to the growth of kids.’
Government vs Governor
The state government led by MK Stalin had been in a constant tussle regarding anti-NEET bill. The government kept insisting Governor RN Ravi to clear the bill but the latter clarified that he would never give the clearance to the bill.
Frustrated by the decision of Governor who returned the bill several times in the past, the government sidelined him and sent the same to President Droupadi Murmu.
