PNM deputy political leader for policy Sanjiv Boodhu says the people of TT deserve to be treated with respect, and they deserve a government that is responsible and will tell them the truth.

Boodhu, 33, of Tumpuna Road, Arima was selected as deputy political leader by People’s National Movement political leader Pennelope Beckles, along with veteran politician Colm Imbert and former labour leader Jennifer Baptiste-Primus, on July 26. He contested the Cumuto/Manzanilla seat but lost to newcomer Shivanna Sam of the UNC.

After the April 28 general election and before retiring, former PM and PNM political leader Dr Rowley revoked the appointments of Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly and Imbert as deputy political leaders of the party. Rohan Sinanan resigned from his post as deputy political leader, but Ancil Dennis remains the leader of the PNM Tobago Council.
