‘DMK Misleading Students with Lies,’ Says Union Minister L. Murugan

Namakkal: Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs L. Murugan addressed the media following an interaction with NEET aspirants at a free coaching centre run by a voluntary organization in Namakkal district, Tamilnadu. He said that the DMK has continued to exploit the NEET examination issue for political gain.

“Free NEET coaching centres like these are turning the dreams of underprivileged students to become doctors into reality. With a vision of a developed India by 2047, the Modi government is focusing on empowering the younger generation through quality education”, L Murugan said while speaking to the students.

He accused the DMK of engaging in continuous political theatrics over NEET.

“DMK is misleading students with lies, diminishing the morale of those preparing sincerely. It was during the UPA regime—of which the DMK was a part—that NEET was introduced. In fact, a DMK minister from Namakkal had approved it in the Union Cabinet”, the Union Minister further said.

He also stated that many government school students are now clearing NEET exams, and that the AIADMK government, while allied with the NDA, implemented the 7.5% reservation in medical admissions to support them. “We are sincerely working to help students become doctors, whereas DMK seeks political mileage in every issue, including NEET”, he added.
