There has to be more to this story. He had to have co ordinated it with the PPP. They would not launch a no confidence vote campaign without a sense that there is a weak link in the APNU ranks. Everyone was genuinely surprised at his action. Lots of soup spigots got turned off! 

Anyway, I understand his stated reasons and while I would have sought to fight for change where I was,  he possibly knows better about who would have listened.  The PPP and the APNU will now harden their ranks. Poor Ramson might not even make it on the PPP list because he would be seen to have a grievance ( as he should). Every Indian and black person  on the APNU and PPP lists respectively will undergo serious  double vetting. Suspicion to the level of paranoia will be the outlook going forward.

If only this was done by a black person,  the suspicion it was  a racial bushwhacking would not be so heavy in  the aether. We are such an ethnically  divided country that everything is framed in terms of ethnicity. It is why we need constitution reform.

Charandass Budget speech December 4 2018.

Charandass No Confidence vote December 21 2018.

Quite interesting how a person can change his mind in two weeks.

Why are you belittling the man? Plain and simple, he had no confidence in the coalition.  He was lied to over and over again.  They just need his one vote to carry on their racist and discriminatory agenda.  They push the man to the limits.  He voted his conscience, something which many soup drinkers like Ramjattan and Nagamootoo don’t have.

The biggest part of his comments in that article is him leaving a letter for his son with his secretary "in case he did not make it from the Parliament chambers" after his vote.

The man complained about PNC Bullyism and Racists within the ranks of the APNU.  He never said it was their economic agenda or anything else.

Alyuh listen up if you want to avoid the same mistake.  PNC are known and reviled by most Indians for their racism and bullyism against Indians.  He saw this bubbling up to the surface and the growing strength of the PNC racist faction.  This is what he voted against.  So, one could agree and disagree at the same time and vote for whatever is more impactful.

PNC racism and bullyism just got a kick in their teeth!

kinda surprised that u would post a picture like this. Charrandas did what he had to do, what he thought was the right thing. We should respect the man's right to choose.

Please, what national hero? He's good for the PPP but he's no national hero. The man is a common traitor. No more, no less. There are two sides to the story and why are y'all trying to subvert the other side. Only two weeks ago the man voted yes on the budget and gave an overwhelming speech in favor of the government. If he had a beef with the government, he should have done the honorable thing and resigned. There's nothing in the debate that changed his mind since he said that he planned to vote yes even before the debates. So his mind was already made up instead of listening to the defense of his own government. Selling out his party for a few pieces of silver is not honorable. 

How is there a chance that this traitor's picture will end up on my passport?

I totally respect his right to choose. That doesn't mean I must support his decision. I have a right to express how I feel about a Judas too.

No way.  Why throw it away?  The power was remaining within until the PPP make their move.  He played along and waited for the most opportune time.  Any other would have seen him booted and he was worth nothing!

Frankly, I believe he was indirectly in touch with the PPP!  There may have been others on the brink.  The PPP looked very confident going in.  BJ would not have sponsored that bill if he had no chance!

I am going by his video response to the media. He seems genuine. Guyana seems to have very few honorable men and women politicians.

Guyana is a small country and everyone have their agendas, but I would like to hear his response to the issue you raised here.

if PPP wins in 90 days, dem might put his pix next to the national emblem...theres lots of discussion on Facebook how to "recognize" this dude.

I agree the government needed a wake up call but what you said here is also correct.

The man did what every dam politician does, he put himself first before party and country.

Whatever the reason, I think this is good for Guyana...politicians will now be more careful and not take things for granted....maybe there will be some changes in the way the country is governed

Hahaha. You actually believe everything a Guyanese politician says on camera, especially coming from one who has just betrayed his own party. I own a bridge across the Berbice River that is for sale. Going cheap before the PPP comes back into power. All the recognition for this guy is coming from mostly PPP sycophants. Do you understand the meaning of national? There is no national recognition to be given to a common traitor.

I agree!

PNC in, PNC out, PPP in, PPP out, no major disruption and violence, people will have less tolerance for corruption and incompetence and the type of behaviors that pushed Charrandas over the edge!

Mars comment is based on ignorance. The man was elected to parliament, he became an integral part of the country. Not AFC or anything else such as the AFC or PNC base. 

He did the correct thing. And if a survey was held today, majority of Guyanese would agree with him. Other than Mars and anti-indian stance.
