“The Patriotic Front is experiencing a lot of bullying that is taking place right now. They continue to bully us because you know why?, We aint teif nothing, we eh have no police and no EMBD (Estate Management and Business Development Company Ltd) investigating we, we have no corruption allegation, so what they will say, we’ll split the votes, PNM funding we, so they have to find something to say.”
He said his political leader Mickela Panday was an inspiration to all and will lead Trinidad and Tobago in the right direction.
The Patriotic Front was built on the pillars of good governance, transparency, accountability, resilience and reliability, Jodoonanan said and the party will serve with integrity.
Jodoonanan told supporters, “I urge you today, stand strong with the Patriotic Front vote for real change, vote for change and not exchange.”
He said, “Right now, as you all are aware, we have one party boasting about government of efficiency but in 2015. You the people of Trinidad and Tobago vote them out of office for plenty reasons including corruption and the other party has led for ten years and now they want to form a government of efficiency.”
Panday who spoke right after Jodoonanan said, “Danny is suffering an unimaginable amount of bullying directly to him and also to his family, I am really glad that he stood up today and he told them beware.”
Jodoonanan is contesting against United National Congress (UNC) candidate Dr Roodal Moonilal and the People’s National Movement (PNM) Richard Ragbir.
The Patriotic Front originally intended to contest all 41 constituencies but four dropped out of the general election race claiming bullying and intimidation.
However, Panday said her party will not be deterred and will continue to press on with full force.
