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.
