First CONVERSATION

CONVERSATION:

This commentary is for every Guyanese.

But, written to sway the minds of the East Indian voters on the Corentyne.

Vote APNU+AFC.

An amazing power, the single vote.

In the case of my country, it is easily bought and lied for. Also, intimidation and cuss-out is hurled for it. And, character assassination has become part and parcel of the process.

When everything is said and done. All of Guyana awaits. The powerful are humbled.

For the voters on the Corentyne. That much might your single vote has. Only until you have cast it. Then, it is no longer yours. You have given it to one another in confidence.

Hoping for a better way of life. 

This election, please choose the APNU+AFC.

Give them your confidence.

You have been constantly reminded of the PNC, its policy of banned food items, the rigged elections and the criminality of that time.

Yes, it was a terrible time. But, the PPP has done much worse in their 23 years of government.

Please consider.

Control of the PPP under the Jagans, witnessed two democratically elected leaders of the PNC. Each have tried in small ways to recognize the East Indian community.  Forbes legislated religious days as public holidays. And Desmond Hoyte, he removed restrictions on banned food items. You on the Corentyne were amazed as to how the bandits were chased and hunted down during the time of Hoyte.

And the rigged elections-can you imagine how much Hoyte must have been hated in PNC by the members. To give up their power. Knowing free and fair elections could remove the PNC from a government. The PNC could have said no to free and fair elections as demanded by the American Government. Face the consequences as Cuba and endure hardships-everyone, East Indians, Afro, Amerinds and all the other citizens.

But, Desmond Hoyte choose to seek a new path. He hoped, you would give him your vote. You did not.

Now, today. Another democratically elected leader of the PNC has stretched out his hand in peace. He has given 12 seats of his supporters to the AFC. That might not have been easy for Mr. Granger to convince the PNC to do. But, he did. Our country still needed that new path.   

I ask you to vote for the coalition of the APNU+AFC.

The PPP on the other hand has never had a peaceful transfer of leadership. You judge for yourself. Do you think Ramotar is the leader of the PPP? If you vote PPP, YOU ARE VOTING FOR AN UNCERTAINTY.

The coalition APNU+AFC has a Three Person Committee to investigate all problems that may arise in their administration of a government. That agreement is there for all Guyanese.

In the political life of this country, I have never heard so much racist remarks made by a politician. I am amazed at the words of Bharrat Jagdeo. Not even in the days of the race riots did Forbes Burnham went to such depths. Whether he spared us because of Cheddie Jagan or the confidence of being installed as the Prime Minister of Guyana by the CIA.

With the racist remarks of Bharrat Jagdeo, you should understand why there were rigged elections in Guyana. And for 28years. If the mind of the East Indian is racist, then what are the chances of the Blacks ever getting a fair deal to form a government? Today, you know of the corrupt ways of Bharrat Jagdeo, yet you cling to words of divisions. No one in that cabal would object to his abuses.

You will breathe the air, used the same transportation, bear the brunt of the criminals as the citizens of the country. Jagdeo/Ramotar Clique will never endure those things because your votes would have provided well for them. Armed guards from bandits and private transportation. The charmed life.

And you, will have to manage your sufferings just as other Guyanese-Blacks and Amerinds alike.

Give your situation some serious thinking.

There was a time, when your votes counted as the majority. Since 1992, your numbers have been getting smaller and smaller. And less and less of you vote at each of the elections held so far.  

The time is upon you. Use your God given senses and examine the role you should be playing in the society of Guyanese. Let your votes be for Freedom, Honesty and Justice.

This election vote APNU+AFC.

Free yourselves from Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique and re-take the Peoples Progressive Party. Rid the party of the devious. Throw them out by voting APNU+AFC.

You are no longer the majority in the electorate, so position your votes that gives you a participating edge.

Back in 1953, the East Indian vote went to the Jagans. And they pursued Communism with your confidence. It brought the wrought of the Americans-their disapproval of Communism in this hemisphere. Even though Janet Jagan was an American Citizen that did not spare us. The alternative was 28 years of PNC rule, which Bharrat Jagdeo keeps reminding you.

Even though the Americans did that, it is America and Canada the East Indians of that generation desperately sought to send their children. And those children made the years under Forbes light by sending barrels and money back home.

When the Russians were no longer a threat, the Americans returned to Guyana with fair and free elections. President Carter and conscientious Guyanese were the advocators.

For 28 years, the Jagans maintained their communist links. Giving life to 28 years of PNC rule.

President Carter will once again return to Guyana to oversee fair and free election.

Your voting rights is once again under threat. This time from the Cabal of Jagdeo.   

Today, your vote is canvassed to give confidence to the corrupt administration of the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique. That is dangerous. He incites you to follow his racist attack on Afro-Guyanese. There were only a limited number of Afro associated with the PNC. But, he tells you that all Black people are PNC.

Are those citizen wrong to support the PNC?

Do you not support the PPP and not the PNC?

Your vote must be canvassed for.

It must not be demanded for by fear mongering.

Vote APNU+AFC.

Remove Jagdeo from the Peoples Progressive Party.
