Nagamootoo takes on Jagdeo
October 30, 2011 | By KNews | Filed Under News


โ€œโ€ฆevery time he opens his mouth on a public platform he speaks volumes of himselfโ€ฆ.I am not going to describe him, people will describe himโ€

Moses Nagamootoo and some of the enthused AFC supporters


Head of State Bharrat Jagdeo has been described on more than one occasion during his tenure as being less than Presidential or un-statesmanlike.
Just days before the recent Nomination Day, there were numerous reports of Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) Central Executive Member Moses Nagamootooโ€™s resignation from the party and his possible move to the Alliance for Change (AFC).
On Nomination Day, Nagamootoo walked side by side with the AFC Leadership and a clearly jubilant support base, but this invoked the anger of his former colleagues, foremost among them the President.
Nagamootoo however chose not to go down the road of the President instead saying that โ€œevery time Jagdeo opens his mouth to speak, he speaks volumes about himselfโ€.

โ€œI wouldnโ€™t dignify anything Jagdeo saysโ€ฆhe is not in my class,โ€ Nagamootoo said.

The Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee was also on television for a significant amount of time just before Nagamootoo confirmed that he had moved on to the AFC, and castigated the PPP/C stalwart calling him among other things a hypocrite.
Nagamootoo simply brushed off this attack by Rohee by sending the message, โ€œI pity him.โ€
When pressed for a further retaliation responding to Rohee, Nagamootoo declined, saying that the Home Affairs Minister didnโ€™t deserve anything more.
โ€œWe want a country of civilized leaders, that do not seek to castigate the media as carrion crows and vultures,โ€ Nagamootoo retorted in what was a subliminal yet direct retort to President Bharrat Jagdeo, who over the past few weeks has relished in much publicized media โ€˜cuss outs.โ€™
โ€œWe want enlightened leadership that recognizes the value of every individualโ€ฆwe donโ€™t not want this political culture to descend into a cuss down.โ€
The veteran politician who has served as Minister of Information, Minister of Local Government with responsibility for Amerindian Affairs and Member of Parliament for the PPP/C Administration up until its recent dissolution, said that now is not the time for a โ€œcuss down, buse out, lick down environment.โ€
Speaking to his contribution to the Alliance for Change, Nagamootoo said that his decision to leave the PPP/C was the most difficult he has had to make, but the one to align with the AFC was easy.
He said that with the AFC he is now part of a team that will present its best virtues, values and leadership talent and abilities.
Nagamootoo stressed that the job at hand is not a โ€œone-man jobโ€ and that he is there to complement an honourable team โ€œyoung men I have known and with whom grew up with me.โ€
Asked about whether he intends to shake-up the voting base for the PPP/C Nagamootoo said, โ€œI am not here to shake any baseโ€ฆI am here to spread enlightenment.โ€
Nagamootoo did point out that life is full of glorious possibilities and that he does not


President Jagdeo during one of his now famous tirades
close doors, โ€œand I do not have a grudge against the membership of this partyโ€ฆI love the supporters of this party, Iโ€™ve worked with them for 50 yearsโ€ฆmy quarrel is not with the membership or with the supporters I think they have been duped and betrayed.โ€
According to the newest AFC member, his quarrel is with the leadership of the PPP/C that he says has gone astray.
Nagamootoo stressed that he was not looking to engage in any โ€˜cuss outโ€™ with leaders or launch any negative campaign against anyone but rather to spread a message, โ€œand that is the message that they ought to have held the course.โ€
โ€œLook at our presidentโ€ฆlook what we have for a president,โ€ exclaimed Nagamootoo. โ€œEvery time he opens his mouth on a public platform he speaks volumes of himselfโ€ฆ.I am not going to describe him, people will describe him.โ€

He is popular with the Indian sheep. Thinking people see him for the corrupt, autocratic, loud mouthed ignoramus he is.
