Leadership Contender
Ramrakha soon proved himself to be an accomplished debator and was rewarded for his skills by being made the Opposition Whip in the Legislative Council. He was also elected the General Secretary of the Fiji Teachers Union. In 1969, he aided AD. Patel in the Court of Arbitration appointed for the new sugar cane contract. When A. D. Patel died in 1969, many people thought that Ramrakha was a suitable person to take up the leadership of the National Federation Party (NFP), but the Party chose Sidiq Koya instead. After the 1972 elections, his relationship with Koya worsened and he resigned as General Secretary of the Party but withdrew his resignation later.

Famous quotes containing the word leadership:
“During the first World War women in the United States had a chance to try their capacities in wider fields of executive leadership in industry. Must we always wait for war to give us opportunity? And must the pendulum always swing back in the busy world of work and workers during times of peace?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
