If Ramesh takes over, all for PNM

The Editor: This is an open letter to Basdeo Panday: Dear Mr Panday, Are you aware of how much you have disgraced your supporters and de-motivated people opposed to the PNM? Every action since your demotion from  Opposi-tion Leader has fuelled the perspective that you will destroy something if you cannot control it, regardless of how many people benefit from what you are destroying.  I have risked my life to defend you in the past Mr Panday.  Even when I disagreed with you, not once in my entire life have I ever sat by and listened to anyone ill-speak you or Mrs Panday.

And you do this Mr Panday?  You bring back a man who plotted to destroy your government and sold out to the PNM at the expense of one of the most respected members of the Opposition in the Senate? All this talk about caring about the welfare of the country, I am one of the citizens of this country whose future you have destroyed by consolidating the PNM’s position.

Who’s next?  Winston Dookeran?  Let me warn you Mr Panday, the day you allow Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj to lead the UNC at the expense of Mr Dookeran, I will personally mobilise and lead a campaign against any support for the UNC and do everything in my power to ensure the PNM takes every single seat in the next general election. You usually want to disregard comments like these as PNM propaganda, but let me warn you not to make that mistake again.  This is for real!
