The party members condemned the Centre for not allowing States to conduct their own examination for medical admission instead of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).
The demonstration in Tiruchi was organised near the Thiyagi Arunachalam Mandram. It was led by party’s Tiruchi Urban District President L. Rex. The demonstration in Pudukottai organised near the Gandhi Park was led by the party’s Pudukottai north district president D. Bennet Anthonyraj.
