CUMUTO/MANZANILLA MP Dr Rai Ragbir is refusing to be screened by the party for re-election and has accused the United National Congress (UNC) of being transformed into a “personality cult” devoted entirely to the worship of Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

In an immediate response to the Express’ request for a response to Ragbir’s claims, Persad-Bissessar yesterday dismissed it, saying “no one cares” about his bitterness.

Ragbir issued a scathing media release yesterday to announce that he will not participate in the UNC’s screening process for re-election as the Member of Parliament for Cumuto/Manzanilla.
