Opposition members and Government critics argued yesterday that Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath was intoxicated during his appearance on the stage at the Hyatt Lime fete on Wednesday in Port of Spain.
Padarath has denied the claim, dismissing a barrage of attacks from Opposition members and detractors.
Opposition MP Marvin Gonzales was among the first to criticise Padarath after a video of him at the fete went viral.
