How can one vote for a man like Ranil Wickramasinghe when his election gimmicks are so childish ?
Posted on August 13th, 2015
By Charles.S.Perera
Ranil was interviewed in two TV programmes. One in Derana 360 TV programme and the other in Hiru Rata saha Heta TV Programme. In the former he was seen arrogant unsympathetic. In the second the debate turned out to be a monologue, Ranil posing counter questions without answering the questions asked.
He did not portray himself as a leader about whom the people could be proud. On the other hand Mahinda Rajapakse has a magnificent stature of a leader whose very presence gives the people an assurance, and the pride of having him as their leader.
Ranil Wickramasinghe tries to throw about his assumed authority of the Prime Minister, which may go well with his UNP followers but not with the ordinary people of the country. He is the Prime Minister so what ?
Ranil Wickramasinghe where ever he speaks he shows that he is clearly not a people friendly man, where as Mahinda Rajapakse is a man of the people whether he wears his national dress or wears a sarong , tucks it and step into a field to work with the farmers.
Sri Lanka needs a Buddhist leader who loves his people , who is like them , and feels their pulse. That leader is certainly not Ranil wichkramasinghe but Mahinda Rajapakse.
Ranil Wickramasinghe is a leader of some of the people, but not of all the people. He is a leader of his UNP followers, the Tamils who want a separate Eelam State, Muslims who want a separate Muslim province in the east. He is a leader of the Sinhala elite, who admire those wearing English tie, coat and trousers, of the Christians and Catholics.
Ranil Wickramasinghe is also the leader of those who are ignorant of high stakes involving the foreign stake holders in regime change, and know nothing about how the CIA, MI6 and the RAW work, and those who are concerned only about feeding their bellies, and loves small personal enjoyment.
Mahinda Rajapakse will be shunned by the Muslims, but still some Muslims are likely to support him. Because Mahinda Rajapakse does not discriminate against the Muslims and Tamils though the highly ambitious Muslims like Rauff Hakeem , Rishad Baduideen and Lathif Farook may claim Mahinda Rajapakse’s discrimination against Muslims.
Amoung the Tamils too there were nearly 75 thousand who voted for Mahinda Rajapakse at the last Presidential election. There may perhaps be a little more enlightened Tamils who may vote for the Betel Leaf and therefore Mahinda Rajapakse because of extremist Tamil Groups TNPF and CFD seeking election besides TNA.
Mahinda Rajapakse and his Minisers, his family members , and those who are not even connected to him liked exceptionally clever entrepreneurs during his time like Kudabalage who made Littro Gaz a profitable company during the Previous government had been suspected for theft by Ranil Wickramasinghe’s UNPMinisters. But so far they stand clean without being stained by false accusations outside legal norms.
Those nefarious acts have failed to help Ranil Wickramasinghe in his mudslinging campaign with an eye to get more votes for his party.
Therefore the latest stinking mud he touched is the story being repeated at every UNP election meeting, that Mahinda Rajapakse had paid 200 Million Rupees to Prabhakaran to assure his and his families safety. The story seems to give him great pleasure but it will only stain him making him stink to the high heavens.
Some of these election gimmicks of Ranil Wickramasinghe are so inept and foolish one begins to think whether he is fit for the high office he is seeking. UNP also got the Golfer Late Thajudeen’s body exhumed with a srory of a murder to find whether it could be used against the former President Mahinda Rajapakse
Apparently nothing seems to touch Mahinda Rajapakse who remains absolutely clean.
Mahind Rajapakse did a mistake in calling for a Presidential election two years before time. Is that a reason for not allowing him to come back to save Sri Lanka one again after his heroic elimination of terrorism ?
What Sri Lanka and its people are up against today is worst than what it was under terrorism.
If the Voters make a mistake on the 17th August, Sinhala people will be occupying a diminished space hemmed between a Tamil territory on the North and a Muslim territory on the East.
And Rishad Bathiudding who illegally cleared Vilpattu for a Muslim settlement is calling for a separate Muslim Administration in the East. Minister of Industry and Commerce, All Ceylon Makkal Congress Leader and Vanni ACMC Group Leader Rishad Bathiudeen, too, has backed the call for a new Coastal Administrative Unit in East on 09 August.( The Island 13 August, 2015.
UNP Parliamentarians are already campaigning with the map of Sri Lanka prepared by Prabhakaran.
Tamil UNP Parliamentarian Vijeyakala Mahesvaran is campaigning with the Sri Lanka map showing the territory of Tamil Eelam and demanding that 26th November the anniversary of Prabhakaran and the 27 November the Mahaweer day to remember Prabhakaran in the guise that those were the days on which Mahatma Gandhi visited Sri Lanka.
Ranil Wickramasinghe has not said a word against this, showing that UNP is in agreement with the Tamils of the North to give them their Tamil State.
Many times the UNP had used the word Dictator against Mahinda Rajapakse. But it was JR Jayawardhana , R.Premadasa , and Rani Wickramasinghe who have demonstrated their Dictatorial intents in imposing on the people their will , by proposing to the people what they think is correct and exposing to them only what they need to know, hiding their major Agenda of selling Sri Lanka to American capitalism.
Sri Lanka Sinhala please forget your political and religious affiliations and vote together to the Betel Leaf, to stop the intention of Ranil Wickramasinghe and his UNP Ministers to change the unitary status of Sri Lanka and make Sri Lanka become involved in a USA and Western Strategic plan against China and Russia allowing an American Military base in the north and perhaps an Airport in the South to keep away the influence of China in the southern seas.
Sinhala people of Sri Lanka please understand that the Tamils and Muslims have band together to divide Sri Lanka. It is now upto the SINHALA to come together to stop this by:
Voting to the candidates contesting under the BETEL LEAF.

MS is doing & also being led in a noose to do,all he can to destroy MR. I’m sure they have something else to do in the last few final days to destroy MR’s prospects. One good response the MR camp should do now immediately to let the bomb to explode in MS own hands is all those mentioned as seniors to refuse together publicly the PM post & declare their support to MR’s.

Dear Charles,
Thank you for exposing the biggest political hypocrit in Lanka’s history.
—————
Ranil has made a mockery of Democracy in Sri Lanka. Ranil, CBK & MY3 have made Lanka the laughing stock of SE Asia. We wonder why these THREE people have got together to create this fiasco ?
I think perhaps it is to form a Fed State for Tamils – new playground for vested interests ?

By now Sirisena should realise that he got the foreign backing only to bring unwinnable RW and CBK back into politics. He is now a used coin, he has no value. People would have never elected Sirisena, if they realised the plan hatched by the backers.

“Now even MR hating UNP voters will vote for UPFA knwoing very well the next PM will be Nimal Siripala, John Seneviratna, AHM Fowzi, Susil Prem, Chamal Rajapaksha, Athawuda Seneviratna, Anura Priyadharshan or MR.”
This is a VERY POWERFUL thing My3 is trying to do in KEY ELECTION DISTRICTS UPFA may NOT win otherwise.
Nimal Siripala – BADULLA – UNP will most likely win.
AHM Fowzi – COLOMBO – UNP will most likely win.
Susil Prem – COLOMBO – UNP will most likely win.
Chamal Rajapaksha – HAMBANTOTA – hope for Hambantota to have ONE of the two TOP posts from the district as it happened for 10 years since 2004.
Athawuda Seneviratna – KEGALLE – UNP will most likely win.
Now Kegalle and Badulla FOR THE FIRST TIME can produce a PRIME MINISTER!! Even MR hating UNPers will vote for these people HOPING they are electing the next PM of the country.
UNP was going to win Colombo. But now UNPers in Colombo have 2 PM choices!! Why should Colombo UNPers (WHO HATE MR) have to settle for useless Run-nil?? Now they have Susil and Fowzi. IF Colombo Muslims (LARGEST ethnic group in Colombo city!) and other Muslims vote for UPFA to elect SL’s FIRST Muslim PM, that is a GAME CHANGER and the middle finger to MODI. UNP is not bold enough for that, Muslims!
Fowzi was included among POSSIBLE PM candidates after strategic advice from a very very sharp strategist. IF Muslim votes swing back to UPFA, UNP retards will be shitting in their panties. As of now TNA will win MOST Tamil votes, UPFA MOST Singhala votes, UNP MOST Muslim votes. IF UNP can be deprived of most Muslim votes, it is BUSTED. Please think strategically. You can sail against the wind if you do it strategically.

Two faces I hate to see live or on the T.V.screen are Ranil the pimp and Sira the puppet.Others are Rajithaya,Awamangalaya, Champaka and the black asshole Anura kumar. Can you compare any of those traitors to the lion of Motherland great Hon Mahinda Rajapksa? NEVER,NEVER,NEVER.
When you hear the name MAHINDA people get excited and restive but when you see or hear those faces you feel like vomiting.You don’t feel any excitement at all. Boring to hear them. They do not have a vision except utter damn lies according to the place. Their main slogan is about Mahinda. All are afraid of this great son of Motherlanka who always stood for the country and it’s people. He never use bad words or talk rubbish like those UNP hypocrites. He is a man of courage.His promises are kept and people lived very happily after the war ends. If you want to live as free people vote to BETEL and make Mahinda our next Prime Minister of SRI LANKA.

Lorenzo’s analysis is very interesting, and I think it is precise.

Winning maximum number of seats for UPFA is the most important job at this point. Negotiating of MR as PM later.

There is only 3 days to go for the election. DON’T CREATE RIFTS BETWEEN MY3 AND MR. Look at the POSITIVES of it. They are from the SAME party. Leave it to the 2 of them to settle the matter peacefully. BOTH are mature SLFP politicians. They KNOW how to handle this.
Within another 4 days My3 will have to appoint MR as PM.
So don’t muddy the waters.
Try to look at the POSITIVES. My3 is trying to win MUSLIM VOTES for UPFA by giving the POSSIBILITY of Alhaj AHM Fowzi (among others mostly from difficult to win districts) becoming the next PM. Ultimately it benefits MR as more people vote.
My3 made it clear. RW will NOT be appointed PM even if UPFA fails to win 113 seats.

mahesh fernando,
“Negotiating of MR as PM later.”
And MR is an EXCELLENT negotiator!!!
In 2005 he had only 106 seats. 7 seats less than a simple majority. Then stupid JVP left him. Mongal, Anura and Sripathy left. Only 63 seats.
He NEGOTIATED.
He got UNP, JVP, SLMC, CWC, TNA, etc. MPs into his govt. and SL’s best time after independence happened (2006 – 2009). The Cabinet alone was 110.

Facebook LORENZO! Don’t BULLSHIT us with your DEVIOUS “Marriage Broker” PLATITUDES!
The RIFT between Somarama Sirisena and Mahinda Rajapaksa were CREATED by Somarama Sirisena who CONTINUES to EXACERBATE them with his PUBLIC statements and LETTERS.
There is NOTHING to HIDE, and they are REBOUNDING against Somarama Sirisena and CREATING MORE SUPPORT for MR! EVERYTHING stupid SIRISENA does GENERATES MORE SUPPORT for MR!
Jayawewa … Mahinda Rajapaksa Janadhipathithumani …. Jayawewa!

* The UNP/TNA, & Co. use FEAR & GREED plus FALSEHOOD & TREACHERY to prod on their Election Campaign.
* UPFA uses Patriotism, Growth & Peace for All plus past good results, to grow their Election Campaign.
Whom would YOU choose ?? !!
Jayawewa !
