The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) – the entrance exam for medical colleges – generated heated debate in the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Tuesday.
Chief Minister K. Palaniswami replying to a Special Call Attention motion said NEET was brought by the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government in which DMK was a partner.
Palaniswami said it was late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa who had moved the apex court to get NEET cancelled. But it was the UPA government which brought it back.
