SCORES TO SETTLE WITH SINGH: After all, during the election Singh resigned from NFP and stood as Rabuka's PAP candidate, and trounced Prasad in his own political northern backyard: Singh: 5,140 votes. Prasad: 1,427. Prasad needs to win back votes in the event the three-tyred Coalition government scooter breaks down and Fiji goes to poll.
*Another casualty is USP VC Pal Ahluwalia who has been thoroughly compromised as the fallout continues to reverberate in Fiji
Meanwhile, Charan Jeath Singh responds to the Fiji Sun:
Sixteen villages in Vanua Levu were donated brushcutters by the Minister for Sugar and Multi-Ethnic Affairs, Charan Jeath Singh. Mr Singh thanked his supporters by personally buying the brushcutters which cost $20,000. Villagers that were assisted, applauded Mr Singh for hearing their needs. Villages supported included Qelemumu, Vuo, Doguru, Lekutulevu, Bulileka, Nacereyaga, Batiri, Naduri, Sasa,Tabia and three villages on Kia and Mali Islands. Mr Singh handed-over the brushcutters at his supermarket in Labasa Town on Friday.
He said the donation was not politically driven. Instead, it was to thank his loyal supporters for voting for him to be elected into Parliament. Mr Singh assured the public of the Northern Division, that this was not the first and the last of these donation drives. Bulileka Village headman Manasa Leku said they voted for Mr Singh because they trusted him.
