The opponents consisting the nationalists are sending confusing signals to the average voter.\u00a0 Prof. G L Peiris is a dry politician, never contested in an election, but is heading the SRI LANKA PODUJANA PERAMUNA.\u00a0 Dinesh Gunawardene is the Leader of the Joint Opposition, an extremely honest politician, just like his father Phillip, but has failed to become a driving force in politics. Then\u00a0 we have Kin Pin of the Opposition, Wimal Weerawansa, who had become a valuable asset for his ability to speak in common man language.\u00a0\u00a0 Then we have Gammanpila, just like Weerawansa, fighting against the law and Constitution, in every possible way.\u00a0 Still we have \u00a0\u00a0Dr Gotabaya Rakapakse\u00a0 who is \u00a0also a MR CLEAN, however displaying extreme reluctance to be in the front fire line.\u00a0 Instead, GR prefers to deliver robust and lucid speeches to a selected audience with Wiyath Maga.\u00a0 So we have GL, Dinesh, Wimal, Gammanpila, GR playing hide and seek game to promote one person, that is\u00a0 President Mahinda Rajapakse.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rear Admiral Sarath Weerasekera and many others have become \u00a0single fighters indirectly pushing the agenda for President Mahinda Rajapakse, just like the strategy of GR.<\/p>\n

How about pooling all these resources?\u00a0\u00a0 President Mahinda Rajapakse’s winning vote base is with Sinhalese.\u00a0 Sinhalese are earnestly looking forward for him to represent Sinhalese.\u00a0 Gotabaya and\u00a0 Sarath Weerasekera\u00a0 are perfect match for Wimal, Dinesh and Gammanpila.\u00a0 But the Mantle is held by President Mahinda Rajapakse.<\/p>\n

President Mahinda Rajapakse need to revisit his game plan of not showing his hands in support for Sinhalese, for fear of losing the votes of Tamils and Muslims.\u00a0\u00a0 This is a wrong thinking. Douglas Devananda would have been killed by Tamils many years ago, but VIP security provided to him and his family by MR saved his life.\u00a0 Where is Douglas now and with whom?\u00a0 All Tamils, Muslims and their leaders are the same.<\/p>\n

If Sinhalese Extremism\u00a0 is a winning formula, lets embrace it.<\/strong>\u00a0 This is not the time for soft pedalling.\u00a0 The Joint Opposition movement is in disarray, giving wrong signals.\u00a0 Winning series of elections at the Cooperative Societies is not a victory. Reports of several government Ministers crossing over to the Joint Opposition is not \u00a0palatable news.\u00a0 These propaganda are aimed at keeping the DREAM ALIVE FOR SINHALESE.\u00a0 But for how long? <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0It seems that the Joint Opposition is under the false pretense that it can defeat\u00a0 Ranil, Maithree, Chandrika alliance with consummate ease.<\/p>\n

This is a wrong analogy and will bring disastrous results, ending the dreams of Sinhalese.<\/p>\n

HON.PRESIDENT, MR MAHINDA RAJAPAKSE, It is your Call.\u00a0 Please do not let down Sinhalese.\u00a0 You must lead Sinhalese, not Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims, because Tamils and Muslims will never trust you and Gotabaya.<\/p>\n

Please do not alienate Sinhalese. Sinhalese are waiting to hear these words from you: ” May Sinhala Apagey Ratai”. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you Sir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
