The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister says no Opposition leader or parties proposed horizontal reservation. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami said on Thursday that the 7.5% horizontal reservation in medical colleges for NEET-qualified government school students was his brainchild, and no one proposed it. ‘Statement hero’The Chief Minister said Mr. Stalin would end up being a “statement hero” because every day he was issuing statements against the government. “Thanks to this, the spread of COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu has been contained and positivity rate is coming down,” he said. Tamil Nadu Magnesite Limited was reopened for operations, and this benefited 534 persons directly and 2,000 persons indirectly.
