Out­go­ing Cou­va South MP Rudranath In­dars­ingh has reaf­firmed his com­mit­ment to the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress even as he has not been cho­sen to con­test the seat in the 2025 Gen­er­al Elec­tion on April 28.

It was re­vealed by UNC po­lit­i­cal leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar that Bar­ry Padarath has been se­lect­ed as the prospec­tive can­di­date for the con­stituen­cy.

In a state­ment to­day, In­dars­ingh said to­day he thinks of his late par­ents, Bis­soon and Tara In­dars­ingh.

" I think of how they re­lent­less­ly toiled de­spite their hum­ble and scarce means to cre­ate a fu­ture for our fam­i­ly. De­spite the un­fore­seen changes to their di­rec­tion, they re­main com­mit­ted, stead­fast, and firm in their com­mit­ment to en­sur­ing bet­ter for my sis­ters and for me. Many of our par­ents have done so for us, and many of us who are now par­ents do so for our chil­dren. Their ded­i­ca­tion, hu­mil­i­ty, stead­fast­ness, and pas­sion to cre­ate a brighter fu­ture in­spire me to­day more than ever," he said.

In­dars­ingh said over the past twen­ty-four hours, he has been in­un­dat­ed with calls and mes­sages of sup­port, en­cour­age­ment, guid­ance, and grat­i­tude com­ing from count­less peo­ple in Cou­va South, the wider coun­try, and peo­ple abroad up­on hear­ing that he has been re­placed as our par­ty’s can­di­date for Cou­va South.

" Like my par­ents, I un­der­stand that un­ex­pect­ed changes are part of life, and these changes chal­lenge us to grow even more. I am grate­ful to the Po­lit­i­cal Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, SC, MP, and Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress for the op­por­tu­ni­ty to serve as Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment for Cou­va South. I have been a child of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress since its in­cep­tion and the DNA of the UNC runs deep with­in my veins," he said.

In­dars­ingh said he is grate­ful to his con­stituents of Cou­va South, who have be­come his moth­ers, fa­thers, broth­ers, sis­ters, and friends. 

" Our time to­geth­er has been full of laugh­ter, tears, strug­gle, and vic­to­ries. For every in­vi­ta­tion in­to your homes, every birth­day, death, cel­e­bra­tion, and tri­al that we have been through to­geth­er, the space that you hold in my heart is larg­er than any of­fice," he said.

He added that " even as we con­tin­ue the strug­gle for a brighter fu­ture, I re­main com­mit­ted to the re­al­i­ty that on­ly a UNC gov­ern­ment can fix the ills which have be­fall­en this coun­try. The bright­est years of this coun­try were had un­der gov­ern­ments formed by the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress."

The out­go­ing Cou­va South MP said the up­com­ing elec­tion is about en­sur­ing that the fu­ture of the coun­try is brighter than its dark present. 

" When it comes to a par­ty that can take this coun­try in­to a bright, se­cure, pros­per­ous new fu­ture, the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress is the on­ly par­ty that can 'car­ry it.' Ser­vice is labour stand­ing with the peo­ple, and I stand with you as UNC and proud."
