“We Are Happy About It, It Will Help Us Stand Out”, Says TN BJP Chief Annamalai On TVK Vijay’s Stand On NEET Aligning With The DMK

Responding to reporters’ questions on Vijay and his comments on NEET, he said, he has placed before the public his opinion on NEET. The BJP bases its support to NEET on facts. Every year more and more children have excelled, that too from Tamil Nadu. More children from government schools are getting medical seats.

On calling the Union government, “Ondriya Arasu” similar to the DMK, Annamalai said, “We are clear about our stand, everyone has the freedom to say anything they want. One must think whether this phrase was even in existence before 2021. If Vijay is taking a stance similar to that of the DMK, he is most welcome to do it. If he does that, we will stand out and we are happy about it. This makes our politics easier. BJP’s politics will stand out and it is a good thing.”

He further said, “If it is going to be a 4-cornered contest, if one gets 25% votes, they can become an MLA. That is what will happen in 2026. At that time, BJP’s philosophy will stand out from the rest. All the parties here say Ondriya Arasu, they are all against NEET. They can split the remaining 40% votes among themselves.”

On 3 July 2024, Vijay resonated (TVK) with the DMK, expressing opposition to the NEET medical examination, advocating for education to be under state list, and adopting the DMK-coined term “Union” to refer to the central government. This abrupt shift has raised questions about Vijay’s political consistency and his willingness to challenge the ruling DMK.
