Sri Lanka\nPodujana Peramuna (SLPP) has caused the severest damage to Sri Lanka Freedom\nParty (SLFP), says SLFP General Secretary MP Dayasiri Jayasekara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated this\naddressing a public meeting held in Kegalle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SLPP has\ndestroyed the SLFP while it has also helped the victory and the revival of the\nparty, the parliamentarian stated\u201d. (News Item)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day dreaming politician for whom the hat is too bi?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having read the\nabove news item I thought it pertinent to make few comments on what he has said\nso that this young man will at least exercise some restraint for his own safety\nand more so for the benefit of the country at large, without putting the\ncountry to another political mess by driving Sri Lankan voters in to another\npolitical Bermuda Triangle\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I think the new General Secretary\u2019s \u2018Hat\u2019 of a\ndead political party appears to be too big for him or he should be out of his\nnormal senses to make such a sweeping public statement. The whole world knows who\ndestroyed the SLFP. It is pity and a tragedy too the New G S doesn\u2019t know that.\nFor his information and record purposes, I should say it was Chandrika and Sirisena,\nthe present President, who jointly did it in Nov 2014 when MS left the Party at\nthe instigation of Chandrika to contest the presidential election as the UNP\ncommon candidate.  In order to\nconsolidate his position then he took over the presidency of the SLFP more or\nless by force. Immediately after he sacked the two General Secretaries of the\nJoint opposition and SLFP and appointed his own men, Duminda Dissanayaka and\nSamaraweera to strengthen his hands. Then he refused nomination for MR from\nSLFP which made MR to contest on the SLPP ticket. MS then launched his\nvituperative and aggressive campaign against MR culminating his famous open\ndeclaration that MR will not be appointed as the PM even if he gets a majority.\nIn addition to addressing the press he even wrote to the Press on his stand.  Don\u2019t this clearly shows that Chandrika and\nSirisena together had already murdered and buried the old SLFP for good. SLPP\ntoday is the People\u2019s only living party. Thanks to RW UNP is also dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although MR\ncontested as the SLPP candidate under Pohottuwa in 2015, the whole country knew\nthat he was the Leader representing the SLFP vote base all over the country. Therefore\npeople were determined to vote for MR to mend the damages done in Dec 2014.. Then\nhis prorogation of Parliament also stopped the Dew Gunasekara COOP Report being\npresented to Parliament. Sirisena\u2019s verbal war against MR at the hike of\nelections dramatically changed the heart of marginal SLFPers at the last\nmoment. With all that the result was a nominal majority of 9 seats in\nParliament for UNP at the 2015 General elections. That is how the TNA was able\nto form a UNP+Sirisena Government in August 2015. Had MS acted wisely and\ndemocratically it is a foregone conclusion that MR\u2019s Camp would have won at\nleast 120 seats. That would have stopped the UNP+TNA+JVP forming a government\nand all the disasters like second Bank robbery in 2016 could have been definitely\naverted had MR been elected as MS could have still continued as the President?\nWhat is more is the country also could have avoided the second Bank robbery\nthat brought more disaster to this country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feb 2016 Local\nGovernment results put MS\u2019s SLFP Camp to the dustbin of history. Therefore one\ncan easily conclude that today there is no SLFP as the MS camp has gone from\nbad to worse calling MS, NATO Sirisena instead of calling Maitripala Sirisena (NO\nAction Talks Only). I am pretty sure that Dayasiri too should be aware of this\nbackground unless he suffers from chronic oblivion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversely who\nknows whether he is carrying out a dirty contact of his original Boss RW to\nprompt MS to contest the elections, hoping to split the SLFP vote base and\ndefeat MR. It could be even an American CIA ploy or even a joint conspiracy by\nUSA, India and the entire Western Block to kill two birds with one stone, both\nMR and MS. Why MS replaced a University Professor suddenly with a shaky\ncharacter like Dayasiri as the Gen Sec of the SLFP is also a moot question. For\npeople like Gammanpila and Wimal Weerawansa this is food for thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also an original\nUNP man betraying UNP and joining MR first and MS thereafter, looking for short\ncuts to power may not be able to understand the truth or the reality when he\nruns power blind. The whole country knows that MS can\u2019t win the next Presidential\nelection even by default. I can assure none of his SLFP nominees will win a single\nseat at the next election. Because people are waiting to teach them a good\nlesson, first, for joining the UNP led government and betraying the voters who\nvoted them in as SLFP candidates in August 2015 and also for betraying their party.\nNevertheless definitely there will be a split in the SLFP block vote that will\nobviously favour the UNP.  That few, even\nif it happens to be one vote are going to be extremely critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what\nexactly MS being an old SLFP stalwart has to seriously think about immediately.\nI hope someone who loves this country will take this divine message to him. If\nhe fails to realize this catastrophe he will go down in history as man who\ncompletely destroyed the Sri Lanka Freedom Party founded by that Great man\nS.W.R.D Bandaranaike in 195.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If MS get\ndeceived by the dead ropes given by those around him at the moment for personal\nto camouflage and overestimate his chances and makes the wrong decision it will\ndefinitely lead to another UNP Government supported by the TNA and Muslim\nopportunist politicians that will ruin the country beyond all redemptions,\nalthough there is very little left for them to ruin. That will be the death\nknell of this country and also the end of Sri Lanka, the Sinhala nation and the\nBuddha SASANA in this country. Under that situation Dayasiri will have two\noptions. That is either going back to UNP to join the old pack that he himself\nonce called traitors, or commit political suicide as the name MS will be never\nheard thereafter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Dayasiri\nthinks he can be happy with that outcome he may go ahead with this clandestine anti-MR\npropaganda programme. If not he should persuade his poor boss  MS to drop his day dream ambition of becoming\nPresident for a second time and work to unify all SLFP forces against the UNP\nto save this country, the Sinhala Nation and the BUDDHA SASANA. Then only he\ncan become a Minister in the next Government. Otherwise he will end up in eternal\npolitical wilderness as there want be a country left for him to do politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
