Why would Castro support Chandisingh's crossing to the PNC, when the PNC was being orchestrated by the US? This is some deep seated politics going on here. In the US this would have been a movie!!!
Burnham made a left turn away from the U.S. at this time. He was in cahoots with Castro and Jagan and they were all taking orders from their Soviet bosses. Castro was the facilitator used by the Russians to bring Burnham and Jagan together in an unholy alliance (Critical Support and later National Front Government) which was used to nationalize the main industries in Guyana.
Until the late great outwitted all of them!!!!!
Burnham was the antithesis of what someone would describe as great in a leader.
In the end he outwitted no one but himself. Castro and Jagan conspired and pulled the ultimate payback on him. He went in to the Public Hospital for a routine operation being carried out by Cuban doctors. He never left under his own steam. Go figure.
Castro delivered the ultimate payback to Burnham indeed. And let's not forget that his son-in-law Van West Charles was in the room at public hospital when the fatal blow was delivered to Burnham. Funny how that same son-in-law has re-surfaced in the Granger administration today.
