THE People’s Progressive Party extends best wishes to all Guyanese and to the Hindu Community in particular on the occasion of Diwali, the festival of lights. The story of Diwali has universal application. It is a story of the victory of good over evil, of light over darkness.

This year Diwali celebrations have coincided with a period when our country is experiencing great progress. The hard work of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government and its investments in our people are leading us into the bright light of prosperity.

More and more of our people have access to health, education, housing, water among other things. In the face of an international economic and financial crises, our country has still achieved positive economic growth.

Guyana is far better off than it was a few short years ago.

Of course we still have constraints and many challenges, but taking inspiration from the Diwali story we will brighten those corners and give our people a better life.

A Happy Diwali to all.
