In order to wake him thousand elephants were made to walk over him. He was finally \u00a0killed by Rama.<\/p>\n<p>The modern Kumbakarna has woken up after three years. He cannot do anything after waking up but talk to threaten his opponents.\u00a0 But his opponents know that he will go back to sleep again having done nothing but talk. He will be killed by a Rama, so beware of India from where a Rama may come.<\/p>\n<p>This is just an image and no one should get offended.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely in Sri Lanka, \u00a0from an administration that eliminated terrorism and terror, brought back peace and sanity, developed a poor country where smell of death still lurks, memory of sounds of guns and\u00a0 human bombs still give shivers, removed potholed roads, and rebuilt dilapidated hospitals, out dated institutions of education, gave back light and water, the people wanted a change.<\/p>\n<p>These stupid people wanting a change \u00a0voted into power another administration hailed as a novelty with two political enemies fused to form an administration called good governance- Yahapalanaya. It was a failure from the beginning \u2013the Yahapalanaya<\/p>\n<p><strong>They of the Yahapalanaya have nothing \u00a0in their books other than \u00a0how\u00a0 to destroy the country, rob the banks, enrich the rulers, make the parliament a theatre for amusement with the Prime Minister the star performer, with the President the tragedian, and leave the ordinary masses to fend for themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Their modus operandi is simple, oppose the previous administration, \u00a0\u00a0shout from every platforms \u2013TV, press , small or big gatherings, temples and wayside meetings, \u00a0about\u00a0 the incompetence, \u00a0criminality, thefts, bribe takings of the \u00a0previous government , thus\u00a0 hoping somehow \u00a0to win over the people drowning into poverty without any\u00a0 hope of even a straw to hold onto, on to their side with class orations\u00a0 by the leading actor- the Tragedian the recently woken revitalised Kumbhakarna.<\/p>\n<p>Having had slept all the time the Kumbhakarna has not seen what his Prime Minister had been doing , unable to put up with the shouts, accusations, and rebukes \u00a0of the disgruntled people the Kumbhakarna appointed a Commission to investigate the Bank robbery of his champion Prime Minister. The Kumbakarna still half asleep does not follow the theatres enacted in the Parliament by his Prime Minister and his UNP devotees hoping to amuse the people<\/p>\n<p>This Kumbhakarana after waking up is \u00a0still in his dream he had during the three years of sleep time.\u00a0 He brags about the Commissions of inquiry he appoints and says he is happy that he has included the thieves of the previous administration in his new Commission for investigation. He claims that there had been bond scams in the former administration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But what the Kumbhakarma is trying hard to make the people believe is \u00a0that \u00a0the previous administration is now an entity completely outside him, because he knows that if he accuses the previous administration of Mahinda Rajapakse for corruption and malpractices, \u00a0he who had been with that administration\u00a0 as its \u00a0Minister of Health, \u00a0and \u00a0for over 25 years \u00a0the Secretary of that SLFP \u00a0of which \u00a0Mahinda Rajapakse was the President, he cannot be any clean, as he is also up to his nose involved with the thefts, corruption and malpractices \u00a0of the previous government , if there had been any. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if he appoints a Commission to investigate the previous administration the Commissioners should call the Kumbhakarma before them to give evidence for the part he played in that administration.<\/p>\n<p>But now he is\u00a0 also trying to take \u00a0credit for the elimination of terrorism saying that during the last phase of military operations against terrorism he was the Acting Minister\u00a0 of Defence in charge, \u00a0and it was he who eliminated terrorism and not the Previous President Mahinda Rajapakse who was away from the country at the time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In saying that he the Kumbhakarna \u00a0accepts the responsibility for war crimes that the America and the West claim that the Sri Lanka Armed Forces had committed during the last phase of the military operations against the terrorists during which time \u00a0Kumbjakarna says he was responsible for the defeat of terrorism. It is therefore he who should fear the Electric Chair and not the former President of Sri Lanka.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now the Kumbharana is amazingly awake, \u00a0he does not speak but shouts and screams against the Previous Administration and passionately implores the Prime Minister to please help him to catch the rogues of the previous government to take the scent away from the rogues in UNP side of the Yahapalanaya Administration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The shouting and screaming Kumbhakarna points his finger of accusations , making allegations\u00a0 against the members of the previous government for comparatively insignificant alleged crimes , while big criminals who planned and executed the greatest Bank Robbery are at large , with Kumbhakarana seemingly\u00a0 frightened to touch them even with a long pole.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kumbhakarna is also a  reconciliation fan\u201d, now while Wigneswaran has already assumed the role of\u00a0 an uncrowned king of the NCP insisting a Tamil only North,\u00a0 Sampandan is calling for the new Constitution before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lankans \u00a0my once fooled people please open your eyes to the lurking dangers.\u00a0 Kumbakarna who wants the Northern Tamil votes will close his eyes on activities of\u00a0 Wigneswaran\u00a0 and give into Sampanthan for a new Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>It is up to the Sinhala Buddhists to wake up,\u00a0 forget for once your political difference and\u00a0 unite as one to vote against the Yahapalanaya, by voting for the SLPP Pohotuuwa at the Local Government elections.\u00a0 <strong>Otherwise say good by to Sinhala Buddhist Sri Lanka\u00a0 that existed for more than 2600 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The people should beware of the imitation Kumbhakarna, and keep away from him and not by any mistake vote for the SLFP he leads . He is the more reason\u00a0 why the people should vote for the\u00a0 Pohottuva\u201d of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna\u00a0 which is the only charm against the evils of Kumbhakarana\u00a0 his SLFP, and his Prime Minister and his\u00a0 UNP and their JVP assoiates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Charles.S.Perera Kumbhakarna \u00a0the younger brother of Ravana slept for six months and woke up to eat everything within reach including human beings.
