  • Tamil Nadu Health Minister M. Subramanian condemned Governor R.N. Ravi's comments on the permanence of NEET and called them deceptive and needless.

  • The Governor's remarks were given at the Raj Bhavan during an occasion honoring the NEET topper.

  • Previously, the State legislature approved a resolution and a bill requesting an NEET exception, which the Governor originally refused to send to the President's office.

  • After the Legislative Assembly re-adopted and re-sent the Bill, the Governor transmitted it to the President for signature.

  • Subramanian stated that the Governor's responsibility ends after the President's consent is received, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the Constitution and cooperating with the administration.

  • In his campaign agenda, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin offered NEET exemption.

  • Minister Subramanian reiterated the commitment to achieving NEET exemption and criticized the Governor's stance against popular sentiment.
