Mr. Bissoondyal Singh has branded Minister of Agriculture Robert Persaud an "ignorant, self-promoting egomaniac" amidst reports that Minister Persaud has refused to publicly support the Bissoondyal led faction of the Demerara Cricket Board. Bissoondyal was speaking yesterday in response to questions posed to him about junior Minister Irfan Ali being guilty of misusing public office in promoting his campaign for the Presidency of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB). When confronted about reports in Guyana that indicate that Minister of Agriculture Robert Persaud has expressed support for the Raj Singh faction of the Demerara Cricket Board in light of local television stations broadcasting a recording of the Executive Committee meeting held on 17th January 2011; Bissoondyal dismissed suggestions that Minister Persaud's opinion had any value in cricket circles. Sources have confirmed a lunch meeting at a Brazilian restaurant at Alexander and Charlotte Streets, Georgetown between Minister Persaud and a representative of the Raj Singh faction was arranged by Mr. Sanjeev Datadin, one time Attorney at Law for the Raj Singh faction. Efforts to contact both Datadin and Minister Persaud were unsuccessful; as they are both out of the county at the moment.
Sources have confirmed that the airing of a full tape of the meeting of the Demerara Cricket Board Executive has made public the arrogant, destructive, selfishness of Bissoondyal. On more than one occasion he demonstrated a wholly irrational and unreasonable demeanor when faced with the views of the majority of the Demerara Cricket Board Executive. Bissoondyal conveniently labeled every document produced at the Executive Committee meeting as "forgeries and fakes"whenever they contradicted what he was saying. he then arbitrarily and without stating any logical or lawful reason tried to remove Mr. Rovin Stanley from the Executive because he does not apparently live in Demerara. High ranking political sources have said that "such and embarrassing display in an election year is not what politicians want". Another political source close to the Government confirmed that "there was political support for Roachie [Bissoondyal is called Roachie] because he and his lawyer mislead the politicians that he was the only candidate likely to defeat Bish Panday at the GCB elections". Mr. Bish Panday is a contender for the post of President of the GCB; and is reported to have strong affiliations to the opposition Alliance for Change party. The source confirmed that if the politicians in the ruling party knew Bissoondyal was such a "disaster of a person" they would never have flexed their muscles on his behalf, and is Irfan [junior Minister of Housing Irfan Ali] who really mislead the [ruling] party".
Bissoondyal said this afternoon "I don't care about Robert [Minister of Agriculture Robert Persaud], he is [President] Jagdeo's errand boy; ... he is too stupid and corrupt for anybody to pay attention to him". Bissoondyal continued "I don't care what he says or does ... I have [junior Minister of Housing Irfan Ali] Irfan behind me and Jagdeo will listen to him not Robert".
