Baichoo to revive party?

With the wind blowing against Mr Anil Baichoo, the latter is apparently pitching for a revival of his old party, the Movement Socialist Democrats (MSD).

Baichoo is said to have assembled a number of personalities within the party to jump to the MSD.

There is also the possibility that former-MMM member Mr Pradeep Jeeha might join Baichoo’s party.

The idea is to align with other parties in the hope Baichoo will get a future role, in the event he has to leave the Labour Party.

Baichoo is hot on the heels of leader Navin Ramgoolam to make a choice for the Labour leadership: The battle is between himself and Mr Arvind Boolell.

Labour diehards are not able to digest the fact that the party leadership is in limbo.

Ramgoolam has finally accepted the growing popularity of Boolell within the party base and among the public.

Labour does not have a good choice for leadership, as a non-Vaish may lose an election against a Vaish from an opposing front.

Boolell led a silent revolt against Ramgoolam in the aftermath of the December 2017 by-elections won by Boolell.

Hence, Baichoo is pressing hard for his nomination as Labour leader in the event Ramgoolam was to rescind power.

However, the party’s leadership is not in favour of a Baichoo transition in the party.
