Neet not against social justice, DMK indulging in political conspiracy: BJP

Chennai: BJP, Tamil Nadu slammed DMK working president M. K. Stalin for undertaking a malicious political campaign to mislead the people over the death of medical college aspirant Anitha of Ariyalur and contended that National Entrance-cum-Eligibility Test (Neet) is not against social justice.

The opposition parties, especially the DMK were creating an illusion that Neet was against social justice, which was not true, BJP state president Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Sunday. Launching a tirade against Stalin, she said Anitha’s suicide has been made a political conspiracy against the BJP. She warned Modi baiters against any “uncivilised” protest against the PM. “Don’t test our tolerance,” Dr Tamilisai warned.

Neet, she said, was not against TN social justice. Sizable backward & rural students gained through Neet in the past. Despite this, the opposition in TN was misleading the people, she said and condemning them.

“DMK leaders who had Photoshop with the girl (Anitha), could have saved her life by supporting students in their colleges run by DMK’s ex-Ministers,” she said.

“TN Private Medical College’s Lobbying against #NEET as they suffered worst. Now #NEET qualified walk-in to Pvt Colleges with no capitation,” she tweeted and said Neet was not against TN students, as 63% selected were from State Board. On Stalin’s call to bring down the BJP government at the Centre, she said her party would “accept the challenge and face it democratically.”
