Well done, that’s new blood in the SLFP hierarchy.
Councillor Hirunika has lots of new ideas and is a breath of fresh air in party management; her struggle against injustice to her father has been heard. Hirunika is a fearless fighter for truth and justice. That is the way the party should go. The Yahapalanaya where Mahendram makes 9billion in one day is doomed.
This action paves the way for Mahinda Rajapaksa’s return to the premiership in the next general elections.
It paves the way for Ranil and Maitri to for a national government after elections which will definitely takes place in june and it also paves the way for obtaining a 2/3 majority to pass the 19th amendment and also it paves the way for not giving nominations to the Rajapakses and his cronies
