Promises ! Promises !!Promises !!!\u00a0 But what has UNP done since 1978.<\/p>\n

UNP\u00a0 profiting from a President elected mostly by a Tamil and a Muslim vote not knowing what to do with the Presidency cast upon him fell heavily on\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe of UNP as his saviour and made him his Prime Minister. Ranil Wickramasighe and his UNP rejected 29 times by the people revelled at the sudden fortune fallen upon them to set up a UNP government with a cabinet of UNP Ministers.<\/p>\n

It was a hostile government based on thoughts of revenge ,hatred, jealousy, slandering , and mudslinging at the Previous President Mahinda Rajapakse\u00a0 and his government and associates.\u00a0 They continued it for 180 days, having stopped most of the development projects that had been undertaken by the former President and his government.<\/p>\n

To-day the Country-Sri Lanka is negatively affected by this hostility of\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe and his UNP Ministers.<\/p>\n

The country under Mahinda Rajapase had developed from being a developing country to a medium income state within ten years of\u00a0 indefatigable work undertaken by\u00a0 the previous Government of\u00a0 determined Mahinda Rajapakse . His object was to \u00a0bring Sri Lanka to the top amoung once developing countries and\u00a0 make it equal to a developed country.<\/p>\n

Mahinda Rajapakse would have succeeded despite the barriers put before him by the USA and the West along with a resolution against Sri Lanka for imagined\u2019 \u00a0violation of human rights\u00a0 in the elimination of a group of Tamil terrorists, if he had not\u00a0 unexpectedly suffered a defeat at the Presidential elections of the 8th<\/sup> January, 2015.<\/p>\n

The subsequent setup of\u00a0 a UNP government headed by Ranil Wickramasinghe, Sri Lanka suffered the most, and has\u00a0 gone backward in development, and will suffer further in development, security and freedom.\u00a0 The West, since colonisation of Sri Lanka by the Dutch Portuguese and the British,\u00a0 was determined to diminish the importance of\u00a0\u00a0 Buddhism and the culture\u00a0 built around it\u00a0 preserved and protected by the Sinhala.\u00a0 But the Sinhala and the Buddhist monks were strong and helped by Sinhala Buddhist leaders thwarted this attempts by the West and their local political henchmen.<\/p>\n

The West found an ample number of local henchmen to carry out their nefarious activities against developing nations\u00a0 within \u00a0most of the developing countries.\u00a0 In Sri Lanka they found\u00a0 in UNP\u00a0 their breeding place for anti-nationalist, anti Buddhist , activists. The UNP Minister of Justice Wijedasa Rajapakse said recently that Sri Lanka does not belong to the Sinhala.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eran Wickramaratne\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0 Hansdunetti of JVP who work along side\u00a0 the UNP with amoung them a CIA Agent according to latest news, castigated a Sri Lankan expatriate living in London who participated in a TV Political debate(Aluth Paralimenthuwa) to show with photographic evidence the activities of the pro-terrorist Tamil diaspora in UK in collaboration with the British Government, saying that he was raising a racial issue\u00a0 and\u00a0 that type of information cannot be accepted.<\/p>\n

UNP has other Christian UNP Ministers working \u00a0against Sinhala Buddhist issues, such as John Amaratunga, Michael Perera, Rosy Senanayake, Ravi Karunanayake, Mangala Samaraweera, Ranjan Ramanayake, and Ranil Wickramasinghe – himself a Christian.<\/p>\n

Now they keep promising lot of things but never keep their promises. Today, Ranil Wickramasinghe promised to build an Island in the Indian Ocean\u00a0 to accommodate 80 lacks of people.<\/p>\n

The UNP has put lacks of people of work with the stoppage of the development projects undertaken by the previous government and promises\u00a0 20 lacks of jobs for youth.<\/p>\n

President Sirisena promises a fundamental transformation to democracy, with a new government . But for all intents and purposes Sri Lanka was always an exemplary democracy and what they propose with fundamental transformation to democracy is another vague unaccountable promise.<\/p>\n

Wijedasa Rajapakse promises a new constitution for a pluralistic\u00a0 society which he does not define.\u00a0 Madoluwawe Sobhita is promising reforms for a just society which the learned Bikkhu too does not\u00a0 define.<\/p>\n

But there are negative issues which they try to hide such\u00a0 as a a tax on water, which will be a burden on farmers, \u00a0for which a cabinet paper has already been prepared. UNP also suggests a bridge to connect Tamil Nadu to Sri Lanka which is already \u00a0planned.\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe promises to give back the Companies taken over by the Sri Lanka government .\u00a0 Upul Jayasuriya wants to pay compensation to owners of Companies that had been taken over by the government.<\/p>\n

There you are\u00a0 dear voters of Sri Lanka the shape of things to come with a capitalist unrealistic UNP if they come to power.<\/p>\n

Should we go by these promises and vote for the UNP for them to carry out the parts of the hidden Agenda, such as a\u00a0 water tax, bridge to connect Tamil Nadu to North of Sri Lanka, an Island in the Indian Ocean to house 80 lacks of people, a Federal System of Government with a separate Tamil State in the North and a Muslim State in the East.\u00a0 They also speak of an American base in the North and perhaps lease Mattala airport to an American Private Company.<\/p>\n

The alternative is what had been done by Mahinda Rajapakse from 2005 to 2014.\u00a0 Those activities\u00a0 that had been undertaken and completed successfully are there to be scene. They are real.<\/p>\n

Going by what Mahinda Rajapakse had done after elimination of terrorists it is evident that he keeps his promises.<\/p>\n

And going from what he had done,\u00a0 what he promises to do if he were to come back as the Prime Minister\u00a0 cannot be doubted.\u00a0 He is a man who had been tried out by the people and approved as a genius who changed Sri Lanka from a hell that it was when he became the President in 2005 to a Paradise when he left on the 8th<\/sup> January,2015.<\/p>\n

Of course\u00a0 Ranil Wickramasinghe, and his UNP Ministers will not give credit to what Mahinda Rajapakse has done, as condemning his work is a means for them to dupe the voters to get their votes.<\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe and his UNP Ministers are now wallowing in the environment of peace and freedom without fear, which Mahinda Rajapakse has provided by eliminating terrorism, building a strikingly beautiful infrastructure and make Sri Lanka a place equal to many place in developed countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Hence Dear Voters do not hesitate, do not go by negative publicity about MahindaRajapakse and his previous Government .\u00a0 Neither\u00a0 Mahinda Rajapakse nor his entourage has stolen any money from any projects.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Ranil Wickramasinghe and\u00a0 his hostile UNP Ministers tried since January 8th<\/sup> 2015 to prove that Mahinda Rajapakse , his government and every one connected to him had stolen public money, but have miserably failed to prove one case against any one of them.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of those with Mahinda Rajapakse \u00a0may have had human failings common to every one but none of them have\u00a0 been proved to have embezzled public funds.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

These were methods\u00a0 imagined and\u00a0 proposed by the CIA as a means to make Rajapaksas unpopular and change regime.\u00a0 These are well tried out methods suggested by CIA which is in close contact with Ranil Wickramasinghe Mangala Samaraweera and the rest to keep Mahinda Rajapakse from coming back to power as the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

Having failedto bring disrepute to Mahinda Rajapakse with all accusations of theft and bribery, now they sayt hat Mahinda Rajapakse paid Millions of Rupees to Prbahakaran to assure his safety and that of his family. UNP really takes the people for fools.<\/p>\n

If you the Voters get fooled by these blatant lies and vote against Mahinda Rajapakse, you will be doing a mistake you will regret all your life. Because if UNP comes back to power it will sell Sri Lanka to America and the West and divide the country between the Tamils and the Muslims. If that\u00a0 happens you will never be able to put it back to right again.<\/p>\n

Therefore be wise and intelligent think and discuss amoung yourselves and understand exactly what you are doing \u00a0and ask yourself\u00a0 whether you are doing the correct thing.<\/p>\n

If you have any doubts about\u00a0 Mahinda Rajapake and vote against him Sri Lanka will be doomed for ever.\u00a0 There is no real reason to doubt the honesty of Mahinda Rajapakse. He is a real patriot, and above all he is a Buddhist.<\/p>\n

Vote for the Betel Leaf to bring back Mahinda Rajapakse as the Prime Minister and be assured you will not regret.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>That will be the act of your life time, for which the generations to come will thank you with gratitude.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
