  1. Unseating Sambandan<\/strong>: This ploy could backfire on JO itself.\u00a0 This will further alienate JO from the Tamil community.\u00a0 The TNA will use such a move to obtain the local\u00a0 and international attention in their favour, blowing out of proportion a rapid protest campaign justifying TNA\u2019s long held view that Prez Mahinda Rajapakse is against Tamils and minorities.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Such NCM will be defeated in the Parliament, with the support of UNP, SLFP, JVP, TNA, SLMC etc.<\/li>\n
  2. Grabbing Opposition Leader\u2019s Role:<\/strong> Even if JO wins the NCM,\u00a0 there will be no guarantee that it will secure the OL\u2019s role.\u00a0 Prez. Sirisena is a clever politician.\u00a0 Why did he allow exactly 16\u00a0 MPs to vote in favour of previous NCM and \u00a0leave the cabinet?<\/strong>\u00a0 Currently TNA also has 16 MPs, that is how it secured the OL\u2019s role.\u00a0 Under the strict interpretation of the Constitution,\u00a0 TNA was the second largest party in the parliament as per results of the general election, as a consequence of UNP and SLFP\u00a0 forming unity government.\u00a0 JO did not contest the last election as a separate group, they were part of the UPFA, recognized by the Electoral Commission.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, if JO wins NCM against Sambandan, the SLFP defected group of 16 will be equal with TNA.\u00a0 SLFP defected group still represent UPFA, not JO.\u00a0 Prez Sirisena will only need one more MP to join the defected group thus making it 17, to qualify as the second largest parliamentary group representing UPFA, bypassing TNA, thus it will meet the criteria to secure the role of Opposition Leader.<\/p>\n

    The number 16\u00a0 was not an accident, but it \u00a0had been meticulously worked out by Prez. Sirisena, to his advantage.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. DEMAND DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT:<\/strong> This ought to be the ultimate goal of JO and SLPP.\u00a0 It is possible that the current parliament may not convene on 8 May at all, using the prorogation, the Prez has the power to dissolve the Parliament.\u00a0 In a very carefully crafted manner, Prez. Sirisena will try to discharge \u00a0Susil Premajante, SB, Dayasiri \u00a0and the clan \u00a0into the SLPP, prior to nominations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Mr Basil Rajapakse has worked extremely hard to construct a political base for SLPP, from bottom up.\u00a0 MR loyal Organisers are waiting to the contest the General Election and they should not be let down by accommodating discarded parachuters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The country demand the return of Prez Mahinda Rajapakse, with his new team. Those who attacked and insulted MR in the past, should not have any place in the SLPP movement.\u00a0 The country demand not just the return of Prez Mahinda Rajapakse.\u00a0 It is demanding a team of uncorrupt, loyal, hardworking and educated team of new faces \u00a0of men and women \u00a0who commit to protect the People, Culture, Religion, Language and the Country at any cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
