Silver Fox, Ramesh, as sweet as honey
THE EDITOR: Ramesh L Maharaj has stepped into the little (?) Breach that has opened up between the Silver Fox and his specially anointed Winston Dookeran. To all, it appeared that Panday gave the post which he held to Dookeran but as faith would have it, he kept the office of Leader of the Opposition much to the chagrin of those who would see the demise of the glib, silver headed, battle weary leader. The Leader of the Opposition met with his former antagonist and all was sweet as honey. The former UNC attorney general, delivering the feature address at Gulf View, took the opportunity to make the opposition fiasco look like a deception played on Dookeran by the faction within the party to stop any reunion between Panday and Dookeran; they even put the proposition to oust Panday from a political seat in Trinidad. But Mr Maharaj would not permit that! He laid claim to having power in the party by that statement, and claimed that he was virtually a king-maker in the UNC when he said — "I will go in every constituency to unite people to act in the interest of our country. Our country, our party, and our opposition." He weakly added that he has not given up his principles. That does not appear so readily to me and several other readers of the same quip. It seems that Mr Ramesh Maharaj has — "Got thee glass eyes; And, like a scurvy politician, seem To see the thing thou dost not." GEORGE DAMIEN Arima
