Darling, conspiracies should be countered by conspiracies!
Another conspiracy is when we saw you, as a sitting member of the parliament, transporting ‘protesters’ in your govt. provided vehicles and later to hear that you want to “Lead” the toppled-after new govt of SL! Wow! They say Rajapaksa’s have thick skin, but in your case sir I would not accuse you of that because you appear to have stainless-steel for skin!
Comrade AKD,
If you can’t beat them, JOIN THEM.
As you are not capable of anything, look for a Cabinet post without a portfolio under your former mate, RW.
