Happy Jagan Bharat, Cheddi?
You seriously have to be joking if you suggest that Nigel Hughes didn't bring in votes, or that Trotman lacks support among the core AFC base (to he extent that it exists). Patterson is part of the AFC leadership, so how could he have been excluded.
I mean there is yet to be any proof furnished that Nagamootoo brought in some huge numbers of Indian votes.
Go scroll through all of those APNU AFC meetings in PPP strongholds. Over 90% of the crowds were African.
I cannot recall seeing ANY predominantly Indo crowds at any event where Nagamootoo spoke.
So where are this AFC Indo support? Yes a loyal crowd of anti Jagdeo Jaganites, most of them as old as Moses. But in the scheme of things how many votes did this group bring in?
