All talk, no action – PDP
That’s the label the new People’s Democratic Party has given to the Fiji Labour Party, Social Democratic and Liberal Party and the National Federation Party.
People’s Democratic Party spokesperson Nirmal Singh has stressed that the party will never join the United Front for a Democratic Fiji which is made up of FLP, SODELPA and NFP.
Singh said at least there has been movement towards the elections after the 2013 Constitution, and the party supports this forward movement undertaken by the government.
Fiji Labour Party leader Mahendra Chaudhry said Nirmal Singh’s party is only issuing statements and has done nothing else.
National Federation Party president Raman Pratap Singh said people will see their actions soon.
Senior official of SODELPA Doctor Tupeni Baba said he thinks it is not right that such public statements have been made however he said they will continue to speak to the People’s Democratic Party.
