According to today's Le Mauricien Berenger said that Ramgoolam by sidelining Sithanen has provoked the Tamils. And he's now saying that he didn't agree with the Finance Minister's policies.
An overwhelming majority of people I talked to -- and that include Tamils -- find that Sithanen has failed as Finance Minister and should have been sacked a long time ago. They furthermore tend to agree that one of Ramgoolam's biggest mistakes was not to accept Rama's resignation when he offered it in February 2007.
They also conclude that Sithanen has been abusing his modest origins for far too long instead of solving problems he was elected to solve. And that he should have quietly resigned when he learned that Ramgoolam told him there was no guarantee at all that he would keep the Finance portfolio.
These cheap and dangerous statements made by a person aspiring to become Prime Minister of our country should be condemned.
