Dear Editor,
With mine eyes I have awoken to see families spread all over our living room huddling with fear in their eyes after suffering the genocidal cleansing in Linden perpetuated by the PNC and the X-13 plan.
With mine eyes I have witnessed the rigging of elections from 1968 to 1985 by the PNC, denying the electorate to freely choose its own government.
With mine eyes I have seen a PNC dictator bending the will of a proud people making them beggars of salt and rice in outlets ironically named Knowledge Sharing Institute.
With mine eyes I have seen the murder of political opponents to the PNC such as the ballot box martyrs, Walter Rodney, Fr Darke etc.
With mine eyes I have seen the pauperization of my beloved country reducing it from the bread basket of the Caribbean to the begging bowl of the Caribbean all under the notorious PNC.
With mine eyes I have seen that name changes do not change the core outlook of the PNC. Rebranded APNU, it resorted to it old tricks of rigging elections during its revival in government from 2015 to 2020.
With mine eyes I have seen the derivatives of this same APNU in the likes of AFC-Hughes, Walton, Broomes et al, that supported the rigging of the 2020 elections with the clumsy narrative of 34 is half of 65 now running for being the people’s representative in parliament.
With mine eyes I have witnessed parties starting out with blazing pyrotechnics only to fizzle out like a damp squib with references to the likes of Balram Singh Roy (Justice Party), Mohamed Ghanie (Guyana United Muslim Party) which seems coincidentally the same fate the WIN party might suffer.
With mine eyes I have seen the near completed Demerara Harbor Bridge, promised by many before but now built by the PPP government. I have seen roads never seen before and hospitals built to international standards. Schools built with modern classrooms and supported by labs for cognitive learning.
With mine eyes I have seen off- shore warehouses decking the landscape, upstream oil companies springing up along the East Bank corridor, international hotels being erected at dazzling speeds.
With mine eyes I have seen the tremendous improvement in social services, increases in NIS, old age pension, disability, and subsides/grants too much to mention.
All these things mine eyes have seen under a PPP government therefore the seminal question is having seen this tapestry it is only logical that mine eyes will dictate that you cast your vote for continued progress under the PPP.
Yours Sincerely,
Reggie Bhagwandin
