In the latest salvo in the war of words between Brian ‘BK’ Tiwarie and former president Donald Ramotar, the businessman yesterday claimed that he only penned a letter affirming his support for the PPP a month before the 2015 general elections as he feared his aviation company would be evicted from the GuySuCo hangar at the Ogle airport.
Tiwarie released a letter to the media yesterday explaining why he pledged his support to the governing party even though in an earlier missive he had said he decided to switch support to the APNU+AFC coalition a year before the May, 2015 elections.
His letter came after Ramotar released the letter that Tiwarie had written to him, affirming his support for the then government. In the letter, dated March 23, 2015, which Tiwarie sent to the then president, he said, “I am completely disheartened by your recent charges, made both publicly and privately, that I am a supporter of Brigadier David Granger and his opposition alliance. I am indeed further affected by your charges that I have sought to aid the opposition by sharing with them some documents in my possession.”
