Reply to "If re-elected PPP/C gov’t would give retrenched sugar workers monthly sum until they find jobs -Jagdeo tells Canje gathering."

I think that this is a good political move by Jagdeo. Several objectives to be achieved - drive a nail in the AFC coffin so no hope for resurrection, solidify the ppp base which seemed to have been neglected over the past years, creating a roadblock to stop any intrusion of the pnc into the area, making s promise which is much better politically that that offered by the govt. and to provide some hope for the workers.

I do not see it as economically wise. however, we have seen the wild promises made by the AFC regarding the rice and sugar industries, pay raises for workers, the good life and people voted for them. Why not for the PPP now?
