Chandrayaan 3 a victory of our scientists' thought, dedication and action: Karti Chidambaram
MADURAI: The successful landing of Chandrayaan 3 on the moon is the victory of our scientists' thought, dedication and action, said Sivaganga MP Karti Chidambaram on Wednesday. Addressing media persons at Madurai airport, Karti congratulated the ISRO scientists and said it was a great golden day to remember.
When asked about AIADMK cadre giving Edappadi K Palaniswami the title of 'Puratchi Tamizhar', Karti said, "There is no wonder in that. Cadres give political leaders titles and even film actors in the state have been given titles by their fans. The AIADMK may be one of the strong parties in Tamil Nadu, but the people will never accept them as long as they are in alliance with the BJP."
To a question on BJP claiming that the Congress had first proposed NEET, the MP said though in 2010, the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh proposed NEET as an option to the states, the subsequent BJP government had made it mandatory.
