PATRIOTIC Front political leader Mickela Panday says the UNC promised relief in its general election campaign last year but the population got punishment instead after the party won the election.

Panday made this observation in a post on January 7, as she referred to statements made by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Elias Zakour on the same day.

She recalled the UNC promised lower fines and driver education in its campaign. Panday said this tune appears to have changed now that the UNC is in government.
