All praise to Bharrat Jagdeo
Dear Editor,
The 21st December 2018 will be engraved in Guyana history as a historic day where the PPP/C as an opposition party tabled a no-confidence motion against the APNU/AFC coalition Government. The no-confidence motion was able to gather traction where a coalition Government member of parliament Charrandass Persaud voted in support of the motion to topple the most oppressive government in Guyana’s history.
While Charrandass Persaud would be considered a Hero in the eyes of most Guyanese, the architect in creating this opportunity must be recognised and commended.
The Opposition Leader and General Secretary of the PPP/C Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, a ‘political genius’ was not even sure that this no- confidence motion would have been able to gain traction but went on a fishing expedition hoping that several Members of Parliament on the Government benches would have voted in favour of the motion because of the enormous amount of deficiencies that existed within this coalition government.
Over 20 000 voters voted for the APNU/AFC coalition in the 2015 regional and general elections but because Berbice is a PPP/C dominated region the APNU/AFC coalition Government purposely discriminated against Berbician and taking them for granted, notwithstanding a quiet political revolution that touched the consciousness of Charrandass Persaud, forcing him to vote in favour of the PPP/C no-confidence motion.
The membership of the People’s Progressive Party at the last Congress in 2016 entrusted the management of the PPP to the General Secretary Cde Bharrat Jagdeo who has elevated the PPP to a stronger force over the last two years.
The scientific management of Cde Jagdeo and team, contributed to the demise of the APNU/AFC coalition Government in such a short period. The leadership and membership of the PPP must continue to support the vision and leadership of Cde Bharrat Jagdeo .
Guyanese are grateful to Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, the PPP/C and Charrandass Persaud for the renewal of HOPE for a better future.
