While addressing residents of Belvedere North in Region Six during a recent People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) public meeting in that Region, Senior Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance and the Public Service, Dr. Ashni Singh pointed out that the PPP/C is the only truly national party in Guyana and that persons do not have to look very far to see why this is the case, with party candidates and members ranging from all various religions and ethnicities in Guyana as well as of a wide range of professions.Referring to the large turnout of supporters at all the meetings and rallies hosted by the party in the various regions including Rose Hall, the Minister asked, “…and why is it that we are seeing this massive support for the People’s Progressive Party? Why is it that in 2025 we are witnessing what Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo described as a tsunami of support for the PPP/C? What is it that is triggering this tsunami of support for the PPP/C? Is it by accident? Is it good luck or luck and chance? Absolutely not! We are witnessing this tsunami of support for the PPP/C for a few very fundamental reasons.”The Minister listed one of the main reasons as being because citizens want the best party who can run the country to serve them. ‘Who will you go to, other than a man or a woman or a team that has demonstrated that it has a vision and the competence and the capability to run a country, Dr. Singh posited adding that the party has demonstrated this track record.“I want you to look across the spectrum of the people who are asking you to make them the government and to make them the President. Look at all of them! None of them ever run anything other than the People’s Progressive Party and Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali! None of them!” the Minister highlighted to loud applause from residents who agreed.“Look at the whole line up in APNU! Not one of them has ever run anything in their lives, not one of them has ever managed anything in their lives, not one of them has ever built anything in their lives and they want to run country,” he added.Dr. Singh then referred to the promises being made by the various opposition parties as nonsense. “All of this nonsense that they are walking around promising is designed to fool people and to insult people’s intelligence and to create the impression that ‘oh we will share out everything and you all will be good, don’t have to work or nothing’ as if people today are stupid to be deceived and to believe that nonsense,” he explained.“I will ask you today: which political leader in 2025 has outlined a sensible vision for Guyana and for Region Six? Which political leader has outlined any vision at all for Guyana and for Region Six? It is almost like Region Six doesn’t exist for these people. But guess what? Have you heard them express a vision for Region Ten? Or Region One? Or Region Two? No Region! Not one! Because they are visionless,” Dr. Singh concluded.Minister Singh them reminded the Berbicians about President Ali’s ‘exciting vision’ for the country including the infrastructural transformation starting with two bridges-a new Berbice Bridge and Corentyne River bridge and a four-lane highway, new all-weather roads linking Berbicians to Orealla and Siparuta, new roads and allowing for the opening up of tens of thousands of arable lands for farmers and for more agricultural production and for more livestock and more income for farmers. He noted further that more money will therefore be circulating in the country’s economy.The Minister concluded further that plans for the Region also include facilities for farmers to develop their products beyond primary products and Government wants this for the ancient county as well as jobs and other opportunities for young people in Region Six in various sectors including health, tourism and education.The post PPP/C is the only national party, has demonstrated it has the vision, competence and capability to run a country – Dr. Singh appeared first on News Room Guyana.
