The deputy leader of DMK parliamentary party Kanimozhi on Wednesday met Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, apparently to seek his support to stop the Centre’s alleged interference in admissions to medical colleges set up by State governments.
It is pertinent to note here that the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET for medical admission is being opposed in the southern State of Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has initiated an outreach initiative in States which are not ruled by BJP to extend support over the issue.
