When Mahendran crook was replaced by Coomarswamy as the CB governor politicians such as Vasudeva, Gammanpila, DEW Gunasekara or Dinesh praised the selection, not thinking for a moment that the best choice should have been an officer currently serving in the CB itself. This reflects the shades of black-whiteness that exist in these politicians, perhaps unknown even to themselves. I hesitate to call Dinesh a black-white, but his father, the father of Marxism in Ceylon had a period of full-blooded black-whiteness under Dudley. Now, the issue is why a black-white Dayan Jayatilleka (DJ) came to promote Dinesh over Gotabhaya R for the 2019 presidential race.<\/p>\n

I oppose DJ\u2019s choice based on reasons DJ gave for his decision (Island, 23\/07\/18. People in Sri Lanka will not accept Dinesh simply because MahindaR thought that Dinesh was MR\u2019s choice. People have no way of knowing that MR has made any change in the behavior and policies he followed prior to his 2015 defeat. Based on what DJ reports Dinesh is for 13-A kind of devolution, and MR is for that because MR and Basil wants support of the big and small crooks in the PC system.<\/p>\n

DJ reveals that GR is opposed to 13-A. But this does not mean GR and the military officers and soldiers behind him are opposed to devolution. DJ has this habit of distorting facts and taking slippery paths suitable to his changing positions and backings. It is now clear that DJ is withdrawing from his GR platform, because he got signals that his plan for 13-A plus was not accepted by those behind GR. Despite the tragedy called Wigneswaran, DJ still thinks 13-A is not a death-trap. He thinks his 13-A plan is a wall against an Eelam by pen.<\/p>\n

The people in Sri Lanka do not want career politicians, like in so many other western and other countries. Therefore, what DJ cites as a plus for Dinesh could become a minus. GR clearly indicates a system of governance based on scientific management run by professional not in politics of corruption.<\/p>\n

DJ talks about an ultra-right, and some military monks. As a Christian Marxist, DJ cannot fathom the grievances and discrimination faced by the Sinhala Buddhist in this island. MR got misled by an Interfaith myth and multi-cultural trap. European countries which propagated these ideas are now withdrawing from such jokes. Sri Lanka is the country of the Sinhalayas in which others ethnic groups have a right to live with dignity. India or America or EU cannot decide to alter this.<\/p>\n

The devolution Sri Lanka needs is devolution of power to people at the Grama Raajjya level. 13-A kind of devolution is a method to divide the island into 8 or 9 pieces and destroy the Sinhala Buddhist heritage of this island. 13-A is a bribe to Tamil politicians to become rulers controlling poor Tamil people and nothing else. A proposal on how the island\u2019s GSN units be re-demarcated using ecological boundaries was presented to the then LLRC and to president MR. MR was willing to consider that plan but Basil and Lalith Weeratunga sabotaged it. MR would have become a model ruler in the world if he implemented that plan. It would have solved the ethnic headache and the ecological, social and economic problems in the nation once and for all. As Raj Somasundara says there are 17,000 tanks in the Anuradhapura District alone, and if half of these are resurrected there would not be a food problem.<\/p>\n

Basil created a Divinaguma monster and put the country on logs. GR began a project to beautify Colombo for the rich Tamils and Muslims, instead of using the army to repair village tanks in the dry zone. This time around, if GR comes a real Gamperaliya will take place instead of Ranil\u2019s big jokes.<\/p>\n

If Dinesh accepts these ideas, it odes not matter if Dinesh or GR becomes the candidate. MR should retire leaving GR and Dinesh to jointly run the country as MR has shown no signs of reforming himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
