JOPP will never accomplish anything as long as GAP/ROAR are involved
Dear Editor,
It has been reported that Mr. Everall Franklin of GAP/ROAR has accused Peter Ramsaroop of “treachery” etc. concerning the unity of JOPP; I would just like to state for the record, that I find it very strange that Franklin would make such allegations when he, Hardy and Dev with the backing of the AFC, in the intensive deliberations leading up to the 2006 elections, are the ones who were treacherous, deceitful and downright responsible for the break-up of the Third Force platform which we were trying to put together.
At no time did Mr. Ramsaroop cause a problem or act in any way detrimental to that cause.
Myself and Unity Party were invited to join JOPP just after Christmas this last year, but after deliberations we decided that once Franklin and GAP/ROAR was a part of this union, we would never be a part, based on the treachery and lies from Franklin and his cohorts in 2006.
I am surprised that the WPA would be involved in anything involving Franklin et al based on their experience in 2006, when they actually bore the brunt of the scheming tactics by Dev, Hardy and Franklin. As a matter of fact, I had to fight them for the WPA’s inclusion in that period as they were against inviting the WPA to our meetings.
Mr. Editor, I have stated before that Mr. Ramsaroop might be considered a “political grasshopper”, but in this case with the JOPP union, his grass hopping tendencies has served him well, because the joint opposition (JOPP) will never accomplish anything as long as Franklin and GAP/ROAR are involved. Mr. Franklin really speaks for no one in this country and can bring absolutely nothing to the political equations facing the opposition, when in fact Ravi Dev and Paul Hardy are basically finished in the politics of Guyana.
They are the modern, waste-of- time Balram Singh Rais who are slowly fading from the consciousness of the Guyanese voters after providing nothing much to our betterment.
Franklin needs to glance around to see if a shadow of conscience still exists in his political mantra; Mr. Editor, I bet you there’s only a dark shadow of treachery, lies and distortions. Carry on, Peter!!
