Vasant Bharath says the opposition United National Congress failed miserably in the campaign leading up to the August 10^th General Election.

Making a bid to unseat Kamla Persad Bissessar on December 6^th, Mr. Bharath on Tuesday night said the UNC and its executive have been unkind to people who are experienced and could have made a difference on the campaign.

At a virtual meeting the former MP and Minister turned his attention to what he sees as the failings of the government and its constant attempts to tax already strained and stressed citizens.

He also said the government’s recently tabled Provisional Taxes Order, was not about cancer patients or the bid discourage the habit of smoking.

According to Mr. Bharath, it was about raising revenue and nothing else.
