Not defending bhai,

that's way to low shotting back at Naga.

I read an article ,the East Indian mindset is poisoned by PPP,as a matter of fact they are owned by the PPP.

This idea that the PPP poisoned the minds of East Indians is derogatory and disrespectful. It assumes that Indo Guyanese do not have a mind of their own, cannot make decisions on their own or in their own interest. They have a democratic right to cast their votes for which party they want to  represent them. To denigrate them for their choices is undemocratic and seeks to weaken democracy.

I am curious about the often repeated statement that the PPP owns the Indo Guyanese. The question I have is this - How is it that Balram Singh Rai, who supposedly was more concerned about the Indo Guyanese than the PPP received minimal support from Indo Guyanese. The same applies to the leader of GUMP who was or claimed to  be representing Muslim interests as far as I remember. Were they voting against their best interest? Or did they see the PPP as representing their wider interests, ie working, living conditions, development, education, land, etc.?
