Sri Lanka has faced conspiracies against the populist political formulations since the formation of the People\u2019s revolutionary government in 1956.\u00a0 Most of these conspiracies had to be faced by Madam Sirimavo Baandaranaike during her reigns of 1960 \u2013 1965 and from 1970 \u2013 1977and these conspiracies were reactionary in nature and were concerted attempts to thwart progress being made towards enhancing people\u2019s welfare.<\/p>\n

The last conspiracy was an ultra reactionary conspiracy launched jointly by western powers, hegemonic India and diehard treacherous and perfidious local\u00a0 elements who converged together to avenge the war winning former President Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa for liberating the country from 30 years of\u00a0 a vicious terrorist\u00a0 war and having a government without genuflecting to external inuendos.\u00a0 An ultra conservative government headed by treacherous Maithripala Sirisena was installed on 8th<\/sup> January, 2015 as a result of this intensive vicious smear campaign carried out by these plotters..<\/p>\n

This Sirisena-Ranil foreign servile government for the last three years failed to fulfil any of the pre-election promises made to the people \u2013 which included provison of one million jobs, establishment of many manufacturing industries, snatched away all rights enjoyed by the people, suspended all ongoing projects launched by the Mahinda Rajapaksa government, embarked on an extensive programme of selling state properties and national resources to foreigners, initiated negotiation on many free trade and facilities agreements with neighbouring countries which could make a drastic impact on the job market, lead to brain drain and deny employment for many local craftsmen, imposed taxes on all and sundry products but reduced the pice of beer, discouraged agricultural production and several hundreds of thousand acres of paddy lands were suspended from paddy cultivation forcing the country to import rice\u00a0 saying that it was cheaper to import rice\u00a0 than cultivating it locally although the price of a kilo of rice shot up to over Rs. 100\/= , similarly concessions that had been given to cultivation of tea, rubber and coconut were withdrawn creating a scarecity for coconut in the market and jacking up the price of a coconut to over Rs. 100\/=, pseudo media shows were staged to mislead the people of establishing a volkswagon car manufacturing factory in Kuliyapitiya, Asia\u2019s biggest tyre factory in Horaana and South Asia\u2019s tallest building in the Colombo City but the country\u00a0 received no significant foreign investment despite the claim that the government\u00a0 has won over all foreign countries and the western countries would come in queues for\u00a0 investment in the country and Sirisena and Ranil\u00a0 making several foreign visits one after the other begging for forrign investments and attending all foreign investment foras held throughout the world during the last three years.<\/p>\n

However, the government was not hesitant to take scornful measures to fulfil the pledges that had been made to Sri Lanka\u2019s foreign enemies, which included the early introduction of a new federal and secular constitution, devolution of power to provinces, facilitate the establishment of hybrid courts for foreign judges and prosecutors to hear cases against the war heroes bein alleged of war crimes, rapid demilitarization of North anf East, establish necessary institutional mechanisms to prosecute the war heroes, continue with arresting prominent war heroes under various pretexts of delinquency, and give official authenticity to the blatant allegation that Sri Lanka has committed war crimes during the last stages of the war.\u00a0 In addition to this, almost all opposition politicians, their sspouces, their family members and the high ranking public servants were continuously driven to courts and imprisonments under various pretexts and illusory charges.<\/p>\n

When the country was in such a precarious situation the government was forced to hold local government eletions due to extensive pressure exerted by the people\u2019s organisations, the joint opposition together with the former members of the local gocernment institutins after the government deliberately postponed the elections for almost three years despite their boasting of upholding democracy and having a just administration, the so-called \u2018yahapalanaya\u2019. The people wholeheartedly welcomed the elections as an opportunity to register their hatred and anger towards the repressive government and vent their unequivocal apology for helping to depose the prvious government, acknowledge Mr Mahinda Rajapaksa as the sole and true patriotic leader of this country by ensuring victory\u00a0 for over 230 of the 341 LG institutions for Sri Lanka\u2019s nascent political formation SLPP led by Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa with over\u00a0 45% of the votes, reducing the once powerful United National Party (Union of Notorious Plunderers) to a pathetic 27%, and the former glorious Sri Lanka Freedom Party now being held captive by Sirisena to a pitiable 13%.<\/p>\n

When we make an indepth analysis, of the UNP results, it becomes very clear that the pratfallen UNP\u2019s 27% of votes included the upcountry Tamil votes of Badulla and Nuwara Eliya districts, votes received by Mslim Congress candidates contested under elephant symbol (Puttalam and several other districts), votes received by Rishad Bathiudeen\u2019s party candidates contested under elephant symbol (Mannar and Vani districts), and votes of quislings received from the cosmopolitan urban areas including Colombo, Kanfy districts and a very minor and negligent percentage of votes received from rural areas and accordingly the UNP is fast becoming a vanishing political species in rural Sri Lanka, especially among the Sinhala Buddhists.\u00a0 .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
