Desperate times call for desperate action. This is what is going inside the panicky heads of UNP desperados. They want SF to take over the law and order ministry and stop the SLPP steamroller that is racing to flatten the UNP. Little they realize, SF is not UNP leaders’ boytoy (pun intended). He is far more seasoned and tough to be anyone’s darling or pawn. He has his own agenda.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the benefit of those who suffer two-weeks amnesia, SF demanded UNP leadership in 2009 and 2010. He even moved into Opposition Leader’s official residence in 2010. Ranil was about to move out when Mahinda saved him and probably his marriage too! SF is only too aware of how politicians used him and dumped him. He is not ready for those games again. The first thing he will do as law and order minister is use his power to take over the UNP leadership. He has no love for Ranil, Mangala and Ravi as displayed vividly in his speeches not so long ago.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
UNP desperados are digging their own grave if SF takes over the law and order ministry.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sirisena has nothing to worry from SF antics as he is immune from prosecution. In fact, Sirisena will use SF to tame down the UNP. Since he knows very well he is needed only until Rajapaksas are jailed, he will delay it as much as he can. UNP will suffer LTTE’s fate politically under their new Lady Justice Sarath Frankenstein. The only way UNP can avoid getting flattened by the unstoppable SLPP steamroller is to deliver the promises, punish bond scam crooks and stop devolution madness. No Frankenstein can stop it.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
