How come these so-called thieves and murderers become members of the present government and hold Ministerial portfolios if her intention was to have a clean government?<\/li>\n<li>She was in U.K (her beloved country) when Tsunami struck Sri Lanka and she returned only after several days. By that time Prime Minister Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa has visited all affected areas and completed all preliminary work to be done.<\/li>\n<li>She came and took over the already arranged relief activities together with some of her cronies and made various promises which were never fulfilled. Tsunami dilapidated buildings still remaining in\u00a0 the Galle city for which she promised to establish a modern city<\/li>\n<li>By the way we do not know what happened to that Tamil baby she took care of and said that she was going to raise as one of her own children! Whereabout of this child is a mystery.<\/li>\n<li>It was Chandrika as President who presented the federalization (\u2018union of regions\u2019) package, brought in by the Norwegians, double crossed the Karuna rebellion and signed the PTOMS empowering the LTTE to handle Tsunami financing in the North and East.,<\/li>\n<li>She said that power devolution beyond 13<sup>th<\/sup> amendment should be given to solve the problems of the minorities. She said that there was a war for 30 years since power devolutions specified in the 13<sup>th<\/sup> amendment was insufficient. She also stated that the Tamil people have no confidence on a government ruled by the Sinhalese and hence there is nothing wrong in giving powers they envisage to them. However her mother Madam Sirimavo Bandaranaike strongly protested against the 13<sup>th<\/sup> amendment in 1987 and she also held a sit-in protest under the Pettah Bo-tree.<\/li>\n<li>She knows that she can never win an election except by contesting for an electorate in the North. Prior to the 2015 General Election she tested the ground by pasting some posters in the Gampaha district which was completely ignored by the people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Military debacle during Chandrika\u2019s rule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The old hag Chandrika recently claimed that she finished 75% of the war and what Mahinda Rajapaksa did was only attend to procedural matters. Given below are her horrible war record and the personnel and material losses incurred by our forces during her period:<\/p>\n<p>Her period of office (1994-2005) was notable for a series of battlefield defeats. LTTE took Mullativu (1996) Kilinochchi (1998), Elephant Pass (2000) and nearly took Jaffna peninsula. At Elephant Pass, the most important military base in the north, with access to the Jaffna peninsula, the army withdrew leaving behind massive stock of arms, ammunition and equipment including artillery pieces.\u00a0 In Kilinochchi, 500 soldiers were\u00a0\u00a0 killed, 3,000 wounded and 500 were missing. \u00a0<strong><u>LTTE burnt alive 1300\u00a0 Sri Lankan soldiers at Mullaitivu<\/u><\/strong> and removed the entire arsenal including artillery pieces, mortars, and machine guns. Those who survived the Mullaitivu attack \u00a0had revealed the pathetic state of Mullaitivu defenses at the time.\u00a0 Experts \u00a0say the \u00a0Mullaitivu debacle could have been avoided. The government wanted to regain Mullaitivu, but the military opposed this and refused to deploy any more men.\u00a0 They were against maintaining isolated bases.<\/p>\n<p>The government engaged in a series of highly publicized, knee jerk military operations which kept the focus on Jaffna, and off the Eastern province. These seriously weakened the army and helped LTTE further entrench itself. \u00a0These operations were given names that screamed success even before the operations had started,\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Thrivida pahara\u2019,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Sath jaya, \u2018Jayasikurui, \u2018Edibala,\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Rivi bala\u2019 and \u2018Ranagosa\u2019. They suffered from a shortage of weapons and the lack of holding strength at crucial moments. They all failed. \u2018Thrivida pahara,\u2019\u00a0\u00a0 was called off within hours, leaving a group of soldiers stranded on the beach. They were eventually killed by the Tigers.\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Ranagosa\u2019 spread three divisions thinly on the ground. LTTE crushed them. Jayasikurui seemed a lunatic venture even to the public. It was trying to regain the highly exposed Jaffna-Kandy road, with the LTTE lined up on both sides of the route,\u00a0 using just two fighting divisions. These two divisions were soundly defeated by the LTTE.<\/p>\n<p>These ill planned military operations resulted in a huge number of deaths. Operation Riviresa (1995) took Jaffna, but with a loss of 600 men. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The government did not care. The lives of the armed forces and police didn\u2019t matter.\u00a0 Security issues and long term implications were not important.\u00a0 The Government simply wanted to show territorial gains. When the campaigns failed, the government imposed censorship .The press could not report on the bloody fighting and the number of lives lost.\u00a0\u00a0 The statement issued by LTTE when they took Elephant Pass was completely censored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Economic performance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The latest of her mad utterances is that during her rule she brought Sri Lanka among the 75 richest countries in the world.\u00a0 She says during that period the GDP increased significantly and public servants salaries were increased by five fold.\u00a0 We do not know where this illusory world of her existed.\u00a0 It is a known fact that her sense of economic management was zero and Sri Lanka for the first time in its entire history became a country with minus economic growth during her period and frustrated by this fact several Ministers of her government quit the government and joined the opposition and toppled her government.<\/p>\n<p>It can undoubtedly be said that Sri Lanka achieved a massive development during the period of former President Mr. Mahinda Rajapaaksa and given below is a table showing Sri Lanka\u2019s economic status under Chandrika and its significant expansion up to the end of 2014.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table width=\"670\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Details<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">At the end of Chandrika\u2019s period (2004)<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">At the end of Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa\u2019s period (2014)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">GDP<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 20.7 billion<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 80\u00a0 billiom<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">GDP\u00a0 per capita<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 1,062<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 3,853<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Average Inflation<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">9%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">3.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Foreign Reserves<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 2.3 billion<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 8.3 billion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Debt\/GDP ratio<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">102.3%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">70.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Public investment<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 0.98 billion<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 3,7 billion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Foreign direct investments<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 0,24\u00a0 billion<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">US$ 1.6 billio<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">All share price index<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">1506<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">7299<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Unemployment<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">8.3%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">4.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Poverty headcount<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">15%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Fiscal deficit GDP<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">7.5%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">5.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Electricity for households<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">73%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">98%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Telephone penetration<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">37%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">120%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Safe drinking water<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">72%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">90%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">Computer literacy<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">0.5%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">26%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"244\">University Admission<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">14%<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>We hope that this old hag leaves this country at the latest possible time without causing further damage and disrepute to the country and serving for the separatist cause and settle down in UK permanently with her son and daughter.<\/p>\n<p>She is not the only perfidious character that has harmed and continues to harm this country.
