However, Ravi sent back the Bill to the Assembly for reconsideration. The Assembly in turn approved the Bill again and sent it to Ravi in February.On boycotting the tea party hosted by Ravi, the Chief Minister said participating in the tea party would be an insult to the about 7.5 crore people of the state as the NEET exemption Bill is the reflection of people's views.Stalin said the Bill is lying in the Governor's office without any attention."I have written a letter to the Governor and necessary clarifications have been given," Stalin added.Stalin also said personally he does not have any enmity with Ravi and the relationship between them is cordial."He is a nice person to be with. He gives us immense respect. And as a Governor we are also giving the necessary respect to that position," Stalin remarked.According to Stalin, the Governor should forward the NEET exemption Bill to the President and not forwarding it is inappropriate and against the honour of the House."It is also disrespecting the people of Tamil Nadu," Stalin added.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
