CHENNAI: A meeting of the legislature party leaders to be chaired by Chief Minister M K Stalin to deliberate legal measures in order to secure exemption for Tamil Nadu from conducting National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical admissions is all set to be held Wednesday.
The main opposition AIADMK had already dubbed the meeting a 'drama,' that could serve no purpose as people are outraged over the ruling party's alleged failure to get it scrapped. AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami has made it clear that his party will not attend the meeting.
