Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday alleged that Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi “had failed to perform the duty vested in him by the Constitution” when it came to [deciding on] the Bill seeking to dispense with NEET in the State.
Addressing an all-party meeting convened by the State government at the Secretariat in Chennai, he said the Governor had allowed the Bill to gather dust for 142 days before returning it to the government. “The Bill was adopted in the Assembly to reflect the sentiments of eight crore people, based on the recommendations of a committee headed by Justice A.K. Rajan. The Governor did not bother to send it to the President for his consent,” the CM said.
