TVK chief Vijay slams DMK govt for deceiving people over NEET
Without directly naming DMK, the actor-politician says they made people believe by assuring them to scrap the test and by claiming that they knew the 'secret' of cancelling that exam
Chennai: Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam president Vijay on Saturday hit out at the ruling DMK for ‘deceiving’ the people over NEET by promising to cancel the test in the run-up to the 2021 Assembly election.
Quoting a popular song from an MGR film, which wonders, “How long will they deceive in this country, our country?” the actor-politician said the verse perfectly suited the ruling dispensation.
It is the idea of Tamil Nadu’s rulers to make people believe by making false promises and later deceive them after assuming power, he alleged. “There are several evidences and of them, the most important is about NEET,” Vijay said in a post on X.
எத்தனைக் காலம்தான் ஏமாற்றுவார்
இந்த நாட்டிலே, சொந்த நாட்டிலே நம் நாட்டிலே…. என்ற பாடல் வரிகள், தற்போதைய தமிழக ஆட்சியாளர்களுக்கு மிகப் பொருத்தமாக உள்ளன. தேர்தலின்போது போலி வாக்குறுதிகள் அளித்து, மக்களை நம்பவைத்து ஏமாற்ற வேண்டும், தேர்தலில் வெற்றி பெற்ற பிறகு மீண்டும் மக்களை…— TVK Vijay (@tvkvijayhq) January 11, 2025
Without directly naming the DMK, he said that they made people believe, during the 2021 Assembly election campaign, by assuring them to scrap the test and by claiming that they knew the ‘secret’ of cancelling that exam.
However, now they have said that the State government cannot do away with the test and that only the Central government has the power to do so. The actor-leader asked if this was not deceiving the people.
The thought of the ruling dispensation to “hoodwink” the people through lies will not work in the days to come, he said. On January 10, 2025, in the state assembly, Chief Minister MK Stalin said that only the Union government could exempt Tamil Nadu from the ambit of NEET.
