Amit Thackeray said Maharashtra should have taken the initiative to seek NEET exemption years ago, following Tamil Nadu’s resolution. He said medical admissions based on Class 12 marks would benefit students and urged the state government to prioritise students over politics.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Amit Raj Thackeray on Thursday praised the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly’s resolution seeking to abolish the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for medical admissions, saying Maharashtra should have taken a similar stand years ago.

In a statement, Thackeray said the resolution stood out not only for its policy implications but also for the political unity displayed in the Tamil Nadu Assembly.

“What stood out wasn't just the policy, but the political maturity on display. Opposition parties, including the Left, set aside their political agendas, ideological differences, and egos to stand united with the government,” he said.

“Why? Because every leader understood one simple truth: When it comes to the future of our students, public interest supersedes party politics!” he added.
