Alleging that he is being harassed and lied about by members of the We Invest In Nationhood (WIN) political party, Berbice politician Dr. Veerasammy Ramayya says he has no apology to make as he announced his resignation from the party headed by US-sanctioned businessman, Azruddin Mohammed.
Ramayya made the declarations during a social media live video posted on his page on Wednesday evening.
“I feel that I am not comfortable with the way that I was treated. People within the WIN delegation sent voice notes. They cursed me and cursed my mother and everybody [in my family],” Ramayya revealed.
“I am not going to apologise for leaving the WIN party and have no intention to affiliate myself with any party at this stage. Because instead of getting thank you I’m getting a bad name for not saying things.”
Ramayya insinuated that the harassment was as a result of his refusal to disparage President Dr. Irfaan Ali and the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) political party.
“I know President Ali from 2011 in Parliament he was very kind and good to me. In fact all of them in the PPP camp were kind to me. He [President Ali] offered me his house, he offered me a place to stay. He said here are the keys. So how can I be ungrateful? He’s the President,” Ramayya explained.
According to Ramayya he was being purposely sidelined within the party noting that he was not informed when the party opened its office at Whim, Berbice, while he was also not invited to the party’s Nomination Day activities on Monday.
“A few weeks ago I pledged my support to the WIN party, because of the things he was doing [however]…without any apology I will not continue or function in any political party. I don’t want to be a victim of any movement,” he said.
Ramayya was previously a member of the Alliance for Change (AFC) political party, where he served as a Member of Parliament and subsequently served as the the Regional Executive Officer (REO) of Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), under the APNU+AFC coalition government.
He resigned from the REO position in 2016.
He later threw his support behind the PPPC, and served as Coordinator for the Region Six Rapid Response Taskforce, resigning from that position earlier this year. He subsequently joined the WIN party.
