These are possible cunning methods of confusing MR camp prior to the nomination date:<\/p>\n

1..MS to suspend the SLFP membership of MR on the grounds of breach of party discipline. MS can find many reasons, including\u00a0 MR’s brief appearance at the Matara rally.\u00a0 Delay the convening of the disciplinary committee until after the nomination date;<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. MS to make an announcement that the press release issued by UPFA Secretary was a unilateral decision and therefore revoke it;<\/li>\n
  2. MS to resign from the Chairmanship of UPFA and appoint MR. A private citizen mounting a legal challenge to the change of Chairmanship;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    4.MS remaining neutral during election period, but allow FCID to continue unfounded arrests or investigations;<\/p>\n

    5.MS authorizing former Treasurer of SLFP\u00a0 Mr S B Nawinna ( now in the UNP camp)\u00a0 to provide distorted financial details of the SLFP to Mr Ranil Wickremasinghe opening a false scandal, such as MAHINDA GATE;<\/p>\n

    6.MS to support a group of anti-Mahinda former SLFP MPs to seek nominations through UPFA\u00a0 and deny MR\u00a0 die hard supporters nominations.\u00a0\u00a0 MS loyalists to\u00a0 cross over to UNP after winning the seats;<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. MS to support a group of anti-Mahinda former SLFP MPs to mount a legal challenge against the letter issued by Mr Susil Premajantha;<\/li>\n
    2. MS has already announced that it will a government of Sandanaya after August 17. He did not elaborate the name of the Sandanaya, is it UPFA or any other Alliance?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If any of these or similar actions are taken, it will provoke the MR supporters and could even lead to an unrest.\u00a0 This is something we should avoid under any circumstances.\u00a0 Leading upto the election, peace and harmony must be maintained, otherwise we will be playing into the hands of the dictator Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe.<\/p>\n

      MR camp has already postponed the scheduled rally in Anuradhapura on 9 July.\u00a0 MR camp must be cautious not to promote or market UPFA and its symbol,\u00a0 as there is no guarantee that MR will be able to contest under the banner.\u00a0 It should also refrain of pinning any hopes that MS will participate with MR on the same stage.\u00a0 This is most unlikely to eventuate<\/p>\n

      With a very short period left for the election date, it is already too late for MR camp to inform the voters the name of the party or alliance and its symboi.\u00a0\u00a0 Why is it so important to grab UPFA, is it the funds available in UPFA bank account that can be used for the campaign or attempting to score points over MS by grabbing UPFA?<\/p>\n

      President Maithreepala Sirisena cannot be and should not be trusted?\u00a0 He is under obligation to RW\/CBK, Western Allies\u00a0 and diaspora and will continue to be an obedient servant, as a\u00a0 former Grama Sevakaya.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

      If President Mahinda Rajapkse can contest from his own party\/alliance, he can recruit new team of candidates\u00a0 of his own choice\u00a0 with sound educational background and free of corruption and criminal records. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0He can also deny nominations to well known corrupt\u00a0 MPs with involvements in criminal activities.\u00a0\u00a0 Such an action will further enhance MR’s image and public support.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
