He said that he has found with all calculations possible\u00a0 that the \u00a0people will vote for the <strong>Betel Leaf<\/strong> in large numbers, therefore no one can stop a comfortable win for <strong>Mahinda Rajapakse.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He says\u00a0 except for any last minute fraudulent act \u2013a computer jilmart, by the UNP in coordination with foreign CIA, MI6, and\u00a0 RAW computer experts to falsify vote count, under normal circumstances Mahinda Rajapakse is sure to win. I\u00a0 believe him.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One can be absolutely sure despite all these stories about fraud, bribery and corruption UNP had been raising hell since the 9<sup>th<\/sup> January, 2015,\u00a0 that Mahinda Rajapakse\u00a0 is not a corrupt leader.<\/p>\n<p>We can say that with certainty as \u00a0UNP is\u00a0 vindictive, revengeful and would not have left any stone unturned\u00a0 with its FCID, \u00a0all the contacts Mangala Samaraweera had with foreign investigators of corrupt deals, all the experts of CIA, MI6 and RAW, to find even the most feeble evidence possible to inculpate Mahinda Rajapakse or any one they may have taken to interrogate , investigate and drill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They may have examined files, letters, and documents, they may have checked the telephones, Desktop computers,\u00a0 laptops and Ipads. But they \u00a0have not found an iota of evidence against any of the persons they arrested, interrogated, investigated.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>They have found absolutely nothing , \u00a0any thing even reasonably doubtful.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>If they had found the slightest evidence against any one of them , they would have turned the country upside down to hail their victory\u00a0 and \u00a0done every thing possible to howl Mahinda Rajapakse or any one they would have found guilty before a tribunal to prove criminal charges of corruption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>They would have done hell with their Judges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But where, where are the fraudsters, bribe taker, corrupt Ministers or officials ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Evidently there is none.\u00a0 That is why Ranil is now obsessed with another story about Mahinda Rajapakse paying 200 million Rupees to the terrorists.\u00a0 It is the same story . Sling mud and say HORA,HORA.<\/p>\n<p>That is what Ranil studied for one year in America, but no one in Sri Lanka swallows those ropes of his.\u00a0 He is trying to invent another story of\u00a0 the murder of Thajudeen to find out whether he could smear Rajapakses with that story.<\/p>\n<p>Time is up Ranil.\u00a0 Your days are numbered.\u00a0 It is time you prepare for the 30the election defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Ranil denied that there is no proposal to make any one\u00a0 pay a tax for water, but a cabinet paper has been prepared \u00a0on a proposal by Rauf Hakeem to set up a River Basin Managing Authority, where every one including the Farmers will have to pay a Taxe for using water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>There is also a proposal to handover public Hospitals to a Private Company where people have no more free medical services,\u00a0 and they will have to pay even to remove dead body from a hospital.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Colombo District UNP candidate and economist Dr Harsha de Silva yesterday said that a sharp increase in state tax revenue should be a priority to the next administration elected at the August 17 parliamentary polls.(The Sunday Island)<\/p>\n<p>This is what it would be under a future capitalist UNP Government . The people are therefore pre- warned what the Wenasa\u201d (change ) would be after 18 August, if UNP would come back to power.<\/p>\n<p>As the month-long campaign for the August 17 Sri Lankan parliamentary elections closed this weekend, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe warned of a constitutional logjam if Mahinda Rajapaksa becomes Prime Minister.No Prime\u00a0 Minister can take the country forward while being at loggerheads with the President,\u201d Wickremesinghe said, alluding to the on-going public spat between his rival, former President Rajapaksa, and the incumbent President Maithripala Sirisena.\u00a0\u00a0(India Express)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wrong again. This is good for people who knows nothing of world politic. In France the Republican Prime Minister Jacques Chirac got along very well with the Socialist President Francois Mitterrand.\u00a0 There was no constitutional logjam.\u00a0 They had political difference but they did not let France suffer because of that.<\/p>\n<p>But it has become evident to very close observers that, there are some things really wrong in the heads\u201d of President Sirisena and Ranil Wickramasinghe. President Sirisena shows\u00a0 anxiety and fear over a likely win of Mahinda Rajapakse, which is becoming more and more evident as days pass by.<\/p>\n<p>The first sign of it was\u00a0 President Sirisena\u2019s first warning that Mahinda Rajapakse will not be made the Prime Minister even if he were to win.\u00a0 The second was the long letter addressed directly to Mahind Rajapakse.\u00a0 The last was when he addressed the Committee to hold free and fair election.<\/p>\n<p>All those addresses and the letter show confusion in President Sirisena\u2019s mind almost a psychological anxiety disorder.<\/p>\n<p>The worst of it came yesterday with the sacking of the Secretary Generals of SLFP and UPFA and appointing two new Secretaries. It is certainly a sign of a serious mental problem. President Sirisena is \u00a0frightened of loosing his importance with the coming of some one with a greater popularity and a commanding personality, who stands tall and high amoung\u00a0 the people, making the other a mere Lilliputian, with no personality or stature.<\/p>\n<p>Any way all these\u00a0 surprises by\u00a0 both the President Sirisena and Ranil Wickramasinghe\u00a0 will only redouble Mahind Rajapakse\u2019s popularity amoung the people., making them all <strong>vote for the Betel Leaf.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In the mean time the most ridiculous couple to usurp the political scene Champika Ranawaka and\u00a0 Anura Kumara Dissanayake are moving to remove both the MP and the civic rights of Mahinda Rajapakse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is exceptional seeing that man Mahinda Rajapakse at close quarters.\u00a0 He is a remarkable man, extremely gentle and pleasant with a broad smile brightening his face.\u00a0 Seeing him one could imagine the Maha\u00a0 Sinhala Yodayo of the South who fought Elara the Cholan King. Seeing his regal figure one cannot help wonder whether Mahinda Rajapakse is perhaps a re-incarnation of King Dutugemunu.<\/p>\n<p>Mahinda Rajapakse\u00a0 is certainly not a cowered like Champika Ranawaka and\u00a0 Anura Kumara Dissanayake\u00a0 singing hosannas to President Sirisena and Ranil Wickramasingh to keep their political places, \u00a0one as a Minister, the other hoping to become the leader of the Opposition.\u00a0 Champika Ranawaka cannot\u00a0 even be compared to the good Tamil King Elara, but both can be reincarnations\u00a0 of the cruel Tamil Kalinga Magah who terrorised the Sinhala for 21 years..<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mahinda Rajapaksa is not the sort of man who will pay money to Prabhakaran or any one else\u00a0 to keep him and his family safe. Mahinda Rajapakse is the one and only Sinhala Political Leader who risked his life and the life of his family to save the country from the terrorist and deliver the people Sinhala, Tamil and Muslims from terrorism and gave them peace and security.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When the moon is bright and full in the sky the dogs bark.\u00a0 This is\u00a0 how they have barked to the unreachable greatness of Mabhinda Rajapakse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>United National Front for Good Governance (UNFGG) General Secretary and Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka addressing a press briefing last Tuesday said that the former President would lose not only his MP post but also his civic rights for violation of the Clause No: 157 of the Constitution.He said the Constitution clearly says that aiding and abetting a terrorist outfit is an offense that could result in the loss of civic rights for seven years. The former president Mahinda Rajapaksa would be stripped of his civic rights if he was found guilty of misappropriating Tsunami funds and funding the LTTE which fought for separatism,\u201d the Minister added.These sentiments were echoed by JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayaka almost three weeks ago in an exclusive interview with The Nation. The JVP leader said that the allegations on funding the LTTE through the Reconstruction and Development Agency (RADA) headed by former MP Tiran Alles will be investigated, regardless of who comes to power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/newcartoon1.png\"><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/cartton.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/yahapalanayacartoon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-47074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/yahapalanayacartoon.jpg\" alt=\"yahapalanayacartoon\" width=\"614\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/yahapalanayacartoon.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/yahapalanayacartoon-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/yahapalanayacartoon-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Charles.S.Perera Before turning to the subject of this article it is important to point out how undemocratic is Ranil Wickrmasinge.\u00a0 Because he did not like the questions put to him at the Derana 360 political programme, the UNP has used its power to undemocratically stop internet access to\u00a0 Derana.
