National Federation Party president Parmod Chand has described Fiji Labour Party leader Mahendra Chaudhry as a “self-professed champion of the poor.”
Mr Chand made the comment when responding to remarks made by Mr Chaudhry during the FLP’s Annual Delegates Conference in Nadi on Saturday. Chaudhry described the coalition government leadership as self-serving and lacking integrity, transparency and accountability.
“As the un-elected Finance Minister in the regime of Frank Bainimarama after the 2006 coup, he famously stated that people must learn to live with high prices of basic food items essentials,” said Mr Chand.
“The coalition government has been for the past 23 months re-establishing the foundation for genuine democracy, accountability, transparency and good governance dismantled firstly by the regime that Chaudhry was an integral part of for 18 months”.
“The likes of Mahendra Chaudhry can continue hallucinating”.
