With the Donald Trump phenomenon and Putin's popularity in Russia, it got me thinking about the Jagdeo phenomenon in Guyana.

 

Regardless of your views on Bharat Jagdeo he is very impactful on the Guyana situation - for better or worse. He is clearly a leader of people whatever you may think of his leadership style or substance. The ability to move people to action is a definition of leadership regardless of the goal or outcome.

 

It has often been said that no matter how non-racist one may profess to be - and that is a valid condition for a lot of people I know- given the historic racial conditions in Guyana Jagdeo's appeal to Indians - racist and non-racist alike - is that today's Indo-Guyanese is not your daddy's Indo-Guyanese. Whatever his methods and shenanigans of governance, the Jagdeo Indian persona has definitely changed. It doesn't matter that this does not address the other races in Guyana or Guyana's economic structure or social and other reforms.

 

Leadership? Or some other phenomenon at work here?

 a few indians i talked with in Guyana were quite content with Jagdeo as president. They saw nothing wrong with him

That is because they feel comfortable when their own ethnicity is in government,the same would be said by an afro of the current gov't.That is Guyana the people are divided by their ethnic make up,they don't choose a government that have the best economic plan for their betterment.

But when you ask the poor ones how come the "progress under Jagdeo" missed them they are lost for words.

All con men including Hitler have a way of fooling people, but they cannot fool all the people all the time.

The biggest tiefman in Guyana's history and still pushing divisive racist politics in the 21st century. Fire pun dat chi chi man.

All you been hollering thief, thief. To date, none of your lies have been proven in a court of law. It is just lies, unless proven in a court of law.

Your lies and nonsense can be thrown in Garbage bin.

AFC/PNC is talk and talk is cheap, audit and all.

Looks like Jagdeo still stuck in some of you people's craw. Time to move on and address the current govt and what it is that they are doing to resolve the current economic decline in the nation. 

It has been less than a year and Region Nine is facing food shortages.

These chaps are worse than Burnham 1000 times.

Dire times are ahead for the nation. I would advise that you get your family out of Guyana if any remain. Granger et al have intentions of reducing Indos to a notch above slave status in the country. Rawanda will look like a paradise after these new breed of crooks get done with Guyana.

Aye!!!!  Welcome back home Kari.  We were starting to miss you - dear prodigal son!!!!

H, I've never been a member of any political party in Guyana. While a student I was a polling agent for the Liberator party and that was it. I used to go to Freedom House as a teenager to listen to Cheddi Jagan. I worked for the Burnham government and supported the PPP back in the post-1992 days. So I don't know if I'm a prodigal son.  Also remember that a leader can lead this way or that way. I'm not naive to the Jagdeo Administrations. I was merely addressing his  impact on the people who support him regardless - the mark of a leader. While the PPP could argue that they won the last election it is clear that under his stewardship the PPP has lost voter share from elections since 2001.

Donald obviously is a leader of all those people who attend his rallies, poll for him, vote for him and and validated by the media that follow him from celebrity to a politician who has changed the dynamics of the Republican party. He does this without details of policies but speaking in platitudes.

 

Putin is revered in Russia but outsiders will look at his moves in tyhe Crimea, Ukraine and Syria (to prop up Assad) and see a leader whose country suffer from sanctions and a falling Rubble.

 

Jagdeo's record during the crime spree following the 2002 Mash jail break is well documented and his stewardship of the economy does not show a radical change in fundamentals towards greater light manufacturing and value-added and knowledge-based economy. With remittances, the steep prices of gold, dramatic rise in rice production coupled with rising prices, and remittances the economic future was masked by these temporal fortunes. Yet Jagdeo is worshiped by a substantial portion of the population.

 

Donald Trump phenomenon you ask?
