"The recent announcement by Edappadi K Palaniswami government about medical admissions being solely based on NEET scores is an attempt to divert the issue away from the spectacular failure of this government", he said in a statement here.
"The only solution to safeguard the interest of the students in the state is to work towards securing the presidential assent to the NEET bill passed unanimously in the state legislature," he said.
Noting that the AIADMK government introduced a bill to address the issue and it was unanimously passed in the state assembly, he said, AIADMK failed to establish its rights and lend voice to the unanimous resolution passed in the Assembly.
The three factions of the AIADMK should have put forth a condition that they would offer support to NDA's presidential candidate only if the Centre accepted the NEET Bill passed by the legislative assembly, he said.
Stalin asked Palaniswami why his government remained silent when Central government did not send the NEET Bill to the president to get his "assent".
