‘People have a right to know the government’s position on the issue’
Puducherry Chief Minister N. Rangasamy should make his stand on the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) public, former Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy has said.
In a virtual statement, the Congress leader said Mr. Rangasamy had remained stoic on the demand to scrap NEET. The Congress, when it was in power in the Union Territory, had passed a resolution in the Assembly urging the Union Government to exempt Puducherry students from appearing for NEET. Now, the DMK government in Tamil Nadu had adopted a Bill against conducting the exam.
Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi had returned the Bill, “overstepping his Constitutional limits”. The conduct of Mr. Ravi showed how the Union Government was using the Governor’s position to interfere in the affairs of State governments, Mr. Narayanasamy added.
