Well he had to. Now Ranil will be the PM and heard that he is re appointing Ravi Karunanayaka as Finance Minister and Rajith will get the Minister of Health portfolio again. ‘Old Wine In same Old bottles’ I would say. The opposition TNA will continue to support RW government and HE Sirisena’s puppet show will continue. As we Sinhala people say ‘Ikbithi Siyalloma Sathutin Jeewath Wuha’ or ‘At the end everyone lived happily’.

The R Family made a terrible, irrational decision to dance to the tune of the King and its biting them, badly.
