DEVIL HAS CONSUMED EVEN BEFORE THE OFFERING ( Pudana kotama Kapi Yaka)

We all read the news about a powerful minister in the government taking legal action and securing a court injunction against Megapolis Minister ,for trying to acquire his land for development purposes
On 29th January Megapolis Minister is planning to make the Grand Megapolis Development plan public ,with grandiose program to develop the western province and other towns
I predict that there will be more and more discontent against acquisition of land for public purposes and there will be more and more legal action against the minister
This is not a good sign before even launching the plan to public
Any Megapolis development need public consultation with tangible benefits to be presented which should over weigh losses to public in losing valuable land during acquisition of land
I suggest that Megpaolis should first concentrate solving traffic problem and public transport issues and show the public that Megpolis plan is a workable program and beneficial to public and then move to acquire private lands for town development
Let us wait until, and after 29th February and see how Harward Educated managers plan to implement the program !

DR. !!! Every minister wants to have a PROJECT. You know what for Eh ? Megapolis Development. Oh ! NO Its Mage (Polis) Development. Another one wants to have a Bridge Building Project over the Kandy Lake. If you go to the hinterland, and travel the Villages, one will see, people, School Children crossing Rivers, Canals, Waterways, PRECARIOUSLY. No politician has eyes to see where actually bridges have to be built.

Nobody needs to get worried over this Big Lie – the Megapolis Project. It is just another Jada Palana promise and a “dead rope” given to keep the over ambitious Pa Cha Ranawaka under control. He will get mired in this quagmire of a project and this will be the end of his selfish egoist political adventure. He used Sinhala Nationalism and Buddhism to come to where he is today. However we do not hear any thing about the rights of the Sinhalese nor of the Buddhists from him.
UNP has given him a strong rope – called Megapolis to hang himself before he becomes a threat to the Catholic UNP.
