I was around at that time and can tell you from personal experience and recollection. Lots of cash for advertising, cars, motor cycles for organizers and to pay membership for people on the Essequibo Coast. More than the UF was spending. This was not from the PPP. This is why I think that there was no possibility of reconciliation.
please do not delude yourself that Rai was the smartest one in the PPP. What of Fenton? My opinion is - that Rai got political exposure because he was in the PPP, that he thought that a Indo Guyanese will see him as their saviour, that the election result shattered his delusion.
Regarding people from the PNC respecting him. Well, tge PNC now respects Ramjattan and Moses. What does that say about who they Respect?
Clearly the two of us are having two different conversations. And the PNC have no respect whatsoever for Moses and Ramjattan that is why they were used and abused. Rai did not join the PNC. He was cut from a different cloth. He walked away from the corruption. He is almost 98 years young now living in London. His partners Eusi Kwayana and Ashton Chase are also in their 90s and going strong. They don’t make men like those anymore.
