It got Jagan to the 29th year --- elections victory, the presidency and government. Patience and determined struggle pays.
You are an idealist Gilly...still intent on glorifying the distant past...
....by my count, a new generation grew up under that 28 years...lost and scattered around the world....while others lived in distant land in fear and facing discrimination elsewhere...
The 28 wasted years has resulted in the institutionalization of racism, dictatorial rule and corruption, ..the remnants of which Guyanese are dealing with today...all because Jagan was weak and politically naive.
It has caused many PPP supporters to loose faith in the party, while the PPP for its part has driven out people with caliber and was captured by a one man dominant leader with no patience for opposing views.
You people deed to stop seeing the "greatness" in Jagan and acknowledge that the PPP failed to emerge as a credible working class party that is respected by Guyanese of all colors.
