PictureDatt: Loud but not clear
_Krishna Datt on Nirmal Singh

Regarding the party spokesman, the former school principal said he was not kicked out of the party. “Obviously there were some statements made (by Mr Singh) that were a little bit controversial – not all members had the same view but in broad general terms, he put the party profile up – we’ve got to acknowledge that help and support.
“But increasingly as the party founders, we began to think that we should now begin to project someone as in the leadership role much more – coming closer to the elections.
“For that reason we have relied on Adi Sivia and Nirmal himself had suggested that she should play this role much more. And I think it’s the right move for us because ultimately I’m hoping that she will provide the leadership that we are looking for in the PDP,” Mr Datt said. “Nirmal Singh from my understanding has stood down in favour of Adi Sivia. He has stood down in the sense that he has said that she should begin to take a clearer role in this. That’s my understanding. “He himself said it and rightfully we all feel the same way – that Adi Sivia should be projected much more vigorously in a leadership role. “His difficulties arise from some legal interpretation of involvement of unionists in the party and that we’ll try to handle that at the workshop.” Read more: Datt: The real PDP story.

Yes, he was jumping up and down at that Executive Board meeting threatening to leave the party. Basically, Datt is now admitting that Nirmal Singh is no longer the party spokesman. Please, Fiji SUN and other news media and outlets don't approach this man anymore for comments on the party. Go to Adi Sivia Qoro! Let Nirmal Singh join Bainimarama's party, or better he should replace Sharon at Ministry of Misinformation. After all, Nirmal has been endorsing every statement of the regime. Long live PDP

Its clear as day light that on 20 January Nirmal had been fired from his role as party spokesman. So why he told the party he had threatened to walk out of the meeting and was considering his position with the party - was he telling Fiji Sun that he was still party spokesman or was he hinting about his membership. Basically, Datt in a polite way, is telling us that Nirmal Singh got the boot as party spokesman. Thank God for it.

Nice to know a new party PDP has been formed. I know this will be a party of the intellectuals which will serve the common people of Fiji in the very way once Labour did before the leadership change. You have the most experience of the politicians in Krishna Datt who would make the best Prime Minister.
