His Ministers act as if they are going to be there for ever.\u00a0 But they do not know what exactly they are doing.\u00a0 However, as days go by each statement made by one or the other of Ranil\u2019s Cabinet Ministers make\u00a0 more and more voters loose their interest in <strong>yahapalanaya<\/strong> and join those who are promoting a Mahinda Rajapakse\u2019s come back.<\/p>\n<p>The trend in growing disenchantment with <strong>yahapalanaya <\/strong>and turning to former President Mhinda Rajapakse for relief is seen in the\u00a0 growing numbers in crowds attending meetings demanding Mahinda Rajapakse\u2019s come back to politics. It was seen from the crowds in the\u00a0 first Meeting in Nugegoda.<\/p>\n<p>The second meeting\u00a0 in Kandy had a fairly larger crowd, then in Ratnapura and in \u00a0Kurunegala the numbers in \u00a0crowds \u00a0had increased , \u00a0until the meeting held in Matara which was the pinnacle of MR\u2019s popularity \u00a0bringing in the largest crowd so far, the trend will continue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No one will be able to stop it, least of all the vicious, vindictive , no-good UNP or Maithripala Sirisena born with ingratitude, who does not see the greatness in Mahinda Rajapakse who is even ready to sit as a subordinate\u00a0 with his former Minister who betrayed him to become the President, for the sake of the Country.\u00a0 This type of great patriotism is rare.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rajitha Senaratne is\u00a0 the latest crowd mover from <strong>Yahapalanaya<\/strong> to MR Comeback meetings. His, sarcasm, irony and sardonic smile make a buffoon of him. Ravi Karunanayake is the next making those who voted for yahapalanaya\u00a0 now believe they had made\u00a0 mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Karunanayake \u00a0should never have been the Minister of Finance of any government in Sri Lanka. He is known for his connection with the Raj Rajaratnam the LTTE financer, and the case for money laundering against him was conveniently settled under shady circumstances , he has however not been cleared of his guilt for the people to accept him as a credible person.<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Karunanayake\u00a0 has appointed his Brother-in-law Bangsa Jayah a former police sargent as the Managing Director of the Sri Lanka Insurance Cooperation at a monthly salary of Rs. 600,000.00. Ravi K \u00a0says he is a go getter who has shown a growth of revenue as high as 35%.\u00a0 It may be like his projected GDP growth of 7.5% in 2015, \u00a0while the IMF challenges that it would be between\u00a0 6-7 percent, while the World Bank puts it at 6.9 percent and the Asian Development Bank at 7 percent.<\/p>\n<p>May be the West trust and respect him but the people of Sri Lanka other than the UNP goons will neither respect nor trust him.\u00a0 People have still not forgotten his bribery and corruption under\u00a0 Ranil\u2019s previous government of 2002 selling the Sathosa for a pittance to a private company.<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Karunanayake thinks so much of himself that he dares challenge the former President Mahinda rajapakse for a debate. How can any decent person let alone a former President accept a debate with him who ridiculed the Armed Forces not believing the sacrifices the soldiers \u00a0were making to free terrorist held areas, one after another. He is anti Sri Lankan and no patriot.<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Karunanayake presented a ridiculous Budget creating a farce of bringing down the cost of living merely by reducing the price of a few common commodities some not frequently used by the people.\u00a0 He now cries from roof tops that he has set right the economic\u00a0 bungling of the previous government in 100 days.\u00a0 He says that he would like to debate how the previous administration\u00a0 ruled the country for 12 years and ruined it. He adds that it is because of political interference and mismanagement\u00a0 by the Mahinda Rajapakse regime that the country is in ruin.<\/p>\n<p>That type of bigmouthed boasting may please\u00a0 UNP followers the TNA and the Muslims but not the ordinary people who\u00a0 loves and regrets the absence of their hero and leader Mahinda Rajapakse.<\/p>\n<p>The people know what the previous Rajapakse regime gave to the people and have no doubts of its\u00a0 dedication and service to the people.<\/p>\n<p>Rajitha Senaratne the pompous, has told the news briefing that\u00a0 President Sirisena has said that Mr.Rajapakse does not,qualify to be nominated as the Prime Mnister candidate, be in the national list\u00a0 or get nominations from the SLFP to contest the poll.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>If Sirisena said so it is unpardonable, Maithripala Sirisena cannot hold a candle to Mahinda Rajapakse who is one of the greatest Sinhala political leaders\u00a0 after SWRD Bandaranayake. He \u00a0protected Sri Lanka against its enemies and brought peace and security to the people\u00a0 and\u00a0 took it through an unimaginable development process to make Sri Lanka modern,\u00a0 \u00a0improving the living standard of the people and making the country financially secure. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The pompous Rajitha Senaratne says, the \u00a0people have clearly rejected the policies and the style of the governance of the previous regime and therefore, attempts to bring back rejected politicians and policies back to power was an insult to the people who elected Maithripala Sirisena as the President and the government formed under his leadership.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This man Rajitha Senaratne is raving mad. It is only the Tamils, the Muslims,\u00a0 Catholics, and a few disgruntled Sinhala seeking a change\u00a0 that chose to elect Maithripala Sirisena as the President.\u00a0 But the 58 lacks of Sinhala Buddhists voted for Mahinda Rajapakse, for his style of administration. They did not reject him.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It may be an insult to the Tamil and Muslim voters to bring back Mahinda Rajapakse, but a boon to the Sri Lanka and the majority of its people.<\/p>\n<p>Who says there is good governance in Sri Lanka ?<\/p>\n<p>The people are fed up, as there is nothing positive happening in the country other than announcing constant arrest of persons of previous regime and any one connected, clamouring to pass Amendments, making proposals that the UNP Ministers say\u00a0 will be implement if they come back to power. And\u00a0  talk and talk\u201d attacking the previous regime.\u00a0 Is this what the people want from the <strong>yahapalanaya <\/strong>so called by the UNP and its cohorts ?<\/p>\n<p>Another <strong>yahapalanaya<\/strong> disaster is Wijedasa Rajapakse the Minister of Justice. \u00a0\u00a0He had at a UNP Press conference taking a question from a journalist\u00a0 had asked him to show where it is written or said Sri Lanka is a Sinhala Rata.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These are people who should never have been Ministers of Sri Lanka.\u00a0 Wijedasa Rajapakse is just unaware who he is, where he is or what he is talking about. He had told the journalist who had posed a questioned to him that the mere mention of Sinhala Rata\u00a0 is a racist remark .\u00a0 Wijedasa born foolish is pandering to the sentiments of the Tamils and Muslims whose vote\u00a0 the UNP seeks to be elected at the next parliamentary election.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wijedasa Rajapakse the non-Sinhala, had added \u201d, It is a racist remark, frequently used by the former President.\u00a0 He amplified his lamentable lack of intelligence , by saying that there is no special country for the Sinhala people only, but this is Sri Lanka, where other communities also live\u2026..\u201d\u00a0 Mahinda Rajapakse said clearly that there is now no minority or a majority.\u00a0 Wijedasa is like the ungrateful Tamils.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next vote pusher from Sirisena to Mahinda Rajapakse is the deputy Minister of Housing and Samurdhi Amir Ali who has said addressing a meeting in Kattankudi that the general public must not help former President Rajapakse to enter Parliament once again.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Minister of Housing and Samurdhi Amir Ali on Wednesday (10) stressed that general public must not help former president Mahinda Rajapaksa to enter the parliament once again<strong>.\u00a0 He had said, Those politicians tried hard to bring Mahinda Rajapaksa as the president for the third time. But Tamil and Muslim people together voted for Maithripala Sirisena and \u00a0appointed him as the president in the country\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He should know that the Sinhala Buddhists are not afraid of Muslim votes to Sirisena, and will not listen to a non-patriot separatist. They will do all they can to bring back the Sinhala Buddhist former President Mahinda Rajapakse back into the Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>One of the other detestable UNP political cohort of Ranil Wickramasinghe\u00a0 is the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ajith .P.Perera.\u00a0 He demands the former President Mahinda Rajapakse to declare his assets and financial records, and that if he has not committed\u00a0 any fraud make a public announcement on his bank details and properties, to enable people to make a judgement\u00a0 on his assets after his declaration.<\/p>\n<p>Ajith P.Perera should\u00a0 know that the people have no doubt of Mahinda Rajapakse\u2019s honesty and would willingly have him many times more as their President if it is possible.\u00a0 It is UNP goons like him who are trying to make an honest man seem dishonest.\u00a0 The people will not fall for their ploy, and it is they who will loose the vote of the Sinhala Buddhists as they have turned out to be highly offensive politicians hated by the people.<\/p>\n<p>Ajith P.Perera in his very Englis black suit and tie dares addresses the former President Mahinda Rajapakse to say,  We humbly request the former president not to use religious places for his political gains. We request him not to take away the culture and religion from religious places,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mahinda Rajapakse is a Buddhist layman\u00a0 symbolic of Buddhist Culture and Buddhism.\u00a0 He has no lessons to learn from Ajith P.Perera mimicking very poorly the West and its culture. People of Sri Lanka can easily differentiate between one who respects Buddhism and its Culture\u00a0 and one like Ajith Perera who does not.<\/p>\n<p>Now UNP wants to win the general elections to come by hook or by crook, and having done nothing positive or credible during the last 150 days tries to promote themselves for a victory at the next general elections by proposing what they would do\u00a0 if they come into power.<\/p>\n<p>Ranil Wickramasinghe says he is planning to activate a macro development plan after the general election.\u00a0 UNP says that it is going to take up the development\u00a0 projects they have suspended after the general elections.<\/p>\n<p>The big mouthed Rajitha Senaratne says referring to the former President Mahinda Rajapakse\u00a0 that President Sirisena has refused nomination to\u00a0 former President\u00a0 as\u00a0 the PM Candidate, or take him to Parliament from the nationalist list\u00a0 and adds that the country does not want a Mugabe.\u00a0 The grateful people of Sri Lanka will not allow such a remark go unnoticed and will certainly\u00a0 move to support\u00a0 Mahinda Rajapakse\u2019s come back to politics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Rajitha had added that Maitripala Sirisena\u00a0 will only move forward from where he is now and\u00a0 that he is not a leader who will step back.\u00a0 It is bad luck for Sirisena, because with Mahinda Rajapakse it would be a march forward in the real sense without turning round in circles with\u00a0 Chandrika, and\u00a0 Wickramasinghe the Agents of America, India, UK and the West.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Harsha de Silva Deputy Minister of Economic Development says ,  After months of hiatus, a new economic policy is currently being developed by a renowned team of economists for the next five years, which will be implemented under a United National Party \u201d\u00a0 He says it will become the white paper pertaining to economic matters for the next five years.\u00a0 That is if they come back !<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime mongol Mangala Samaraweera who is presently visiting\u00a0 Japan\u00a0 is recreating Sri Lanka Foreign policy.\u00a0 He has said that there is a new government in Sri Lanka\u00a0 which defeated Mahinda Rajapakse who promoted a foreign policy that relies on China.<\/p>\n<p>He has said that Chinese aid led to rampant corruption under the previous government. He said the Sri Lankan government has suspended a project to improve port facilities in the nation&#8217;s largest city, Colombo, and is now reviewing it. He added the project may not have followed appropriate procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister had said that Japan rose from the ashes of World War Two and became one of the most powerful nations. He said Japan provides a good lesson for Sri Lanka, which went through a civil war.<\/p>\n<p>But unlike Japan, \u00a0China rose to be a foremost\u00a0 world economy by sheer hard work.\u00a0 Japan was a great supporter of the terrorists and \u00a0Yasushi Akashi Japan\u2019s special envoy was a frequent visitor to Kilinnochchi to meet Tamilselvam.\u00a0 But China did not play that role with the terrorists, but helped Sri Lanka in its war against terrorism.\u00a0 We owe more to China than to any other Nation that Mangala Samaraweera is now promoting.<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Karunanayake\u00a0 had challenged the former President Mahinda Rakjapakse for a debate, and having had no response had said that Mahinda Rajapakse is afraid of him.<\/p>\n<p>But who is Ravi Karunanayake to justify to sit for a debate with the former President of\u00a0 Sri Lanka ?<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Karunayake is sitting as the Finance Minister of\u00a0 a government \u00a0which is lead by an \u00a0unconstitutional appointed\u00a0 therefore illegal Prime Minister.\u00a0 Karunanayake\u2019s Ministerial post is itself illegal<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Karunanayake\u00a0 was charged for money Laundering and he had not been correctly judged.\u00a0 He is a friend of Raj Rajaratnam who financed the terrorists in Sri Lanka. He is directly or indirectly involved in the Bond Fraud.\u00a0 He was known to have sold the Sathosa.<\/p>\n<p>Is it with a person like that the former President should sit with to debate any thing ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Charles.S.Perera Ranil\u2019s UNP government is extremely ineffective.
