On 8 January 2015, Sinhalese in Sri Lanka dropped a bomb-shell on President Mahinda Rajapakse.\u00a0 Deeply disappointed for the foolish behaviour of his own men and women\u00a0\u00a0 and the way they let him down, The Great President of Sri Lanka disappeared quietly. He loved Sri Lanka, he loved Sinhalese and the mere fact was that as a consequence of his great love them, he Trusted them.\u00a0 But Sinhalese did not trust their own man.\u00a0 Sinhalese did not trust the man who saved their lives, children and above all for providing freedom to them.<\/p>\n

It did not take months and years for Sinhalese to realize their foolish act, in fact it did not take even one month, just 3 days after giving the Marching Orders to their Saviour, they realized and cried for their own mistake.\u00a0 They could not live without Mahinda.\u00a0 They could not eat their meals without Mahinda.\u00a0 They could not control their minds without Mahinda. To seek forgiveness, droves of clergy, men, women, children made daily trips to his private residence.<\/p>\n

Having said Sorry, having promised to themselves never to make the same mistake ever again, the Sinhalese had to wait for 3 years to place their confidence on Mahinda.<\/p>\n

The Election on 10 February was not about Local Government Elections.\u00a0 The Election on 10<\/p>\n

Feb was not about teaching a lesson to President Sirisena and PM Ranil.\u00a0 The Election was not about their anger against the new draft Constitution.\u00a0 The Election was not about rising cost of living, unemployment or Bond Scam.\u00a0 The Election was a golden opportunity for the Sinhalese to say Sorry\u201d to their man and urge him \u00a0\u00a0to take care of them, because their is no one else they can love and trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, today is a day of celebration to Sinhalese, as they are released from the Mind Pressure suffered by them for 3 years.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

President Mahinda Rajapakse will also feel very happy today to accept the \u00a0Recall for Duty by Mahinda\u2019s Army of People.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pundits and forecasters were proved wrong.\u00a0 Pundits may now predict these results may not necessarily translate to another massive victory for Mahinda either at the next Presidential or General Elections.<\/p>\n

Lets ignore Astrologers and political pundits.\u00a0 Lets leave the decision about future elections in the hands of Mahinda\u2019s Army.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
