T.N. enacting ‘unwanted drama’ over NEET, BJP leader tells HC

Entrance test was introduced when DMK was part of UPA regime: Nagarajan

BJP State secretary K. Nagarajan has contended in the Madras High Court that an “unwanted drama” was being enacted by the State government now by constituting Justice A.K. Rajan committee, to study the impact of NEET on socially and economically backward class students, knowing fully well of its futility especially when the Supreme Court itself had approved the national level test. He said NEET for medical admissions was implemented first when DMK was part of the United Progressive Alliance-led Central government in 2012. According to him, he had chosen to challenge the constitution of the committee, by way of a public interest litigation petition, “to prevent a subversion of the federal structure of our Constitution and the law laid down by the Supreme Court.” Mr. Nagarajan also accused Justice Rajan, heading the nine member committee, of being prejudiced against the conduct of NEET.
