Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai on Monday alleged that the DMK was fooling the people on the issue of NEET. According to him, NEET was to protect social justice, provide opportunities to poor students and to prevent selling of medical seats by colleges. He said in 2019, in Tamil Nadu, 136 Forward Community students, 1,594 Backward Class students, 720 Most Backward Class students and 600 SC/ST students had been allotted seats out of the total State government seats of 3,050. “Can you remove NEET that provides this sort of social justice,” he asked. Mr. Annamalai said there was a false propaganda being spread that NEET was against students in Tamil Nadu even as Congress and Left-ruled States were implementing NEET.With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
