The NEET was imposed on the States by the BJP government at the Centre in 2014 and was opposed by the then AIADMK leader and late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa in 2016. Tamil Nadu got the exemption from the test that year. But after that, the party was acting like a slave and failed to pursue the matter resulting in students suffering, Stalin said while addressing a virtual campaign here for the urban civic polls.

Stating that the BJP government had rejected the Tamil Nadu government's letter to exempt the State from NEET, Stalin said the DMK government was bent on to see to it that NEET is scrapped in the State.
