This is a robbery , not an election at all.
Rajapakse family regime is shameless to do these things for power and wealth.
There is no evidence that Hon MR supporter committed this crime. For all we know, it may be the sly work of opposition candidate himself to deceive people to think this crime is the work of MR. MS is trying to win support by deceit. He is a corrupt man. His brother made billions on through the sweat and toil of the poor farmers who remain poor. He got his son to open a company, and all govt orders for pharmaceuticals for state hospitals were bought through this company. This man is also a billionaire. Such is the corruption of MS. After he is soundly defeated, Hon MR must not forgive him for his treachery but investigate his corruption and if proven guilty he must be punished with a lengthy prison sentence and all his wealth gathered through corruption and the wealth of his brother and son, should be seized and used for the development of poor villages, with better roads, drinking water supply and health centres.
If you say this shooting as a conspiracy of MS, you are speaking from anus, so no pint of discussing with you.
Bas,
If you don’t have a valid counter argument, it is better to keep silent rather than slinging mud and call names at others who don’t agree your view.
The latter will only expose the mud slinger’s low level of education and civilization.
Bugnayaka shows his buggy wit through writing himself. He’s internationally reputed fool who joined to internationally reputed foe sirisena. If he wins then abasaranai 4 all.
In this rare occasion, I agree with Blogger 2, Nicholas Dias.
Mr Sirisena was a leading member of the Government of Mahinda Rajapaksa for over 10 years.
He alleges corruption and nepotism; he did no have the courage to pick up a piece of paper and right his resignation.
Now, he has found dutch courage with the $50m contribution from the CIA for regime change.
Mr Sirisena did nothing as a Senior Minister; he spent most of his time dreaming of becoming the Prime Minister. As heath Minister, he wanted pictures in Cigarette packets. Dear Srisena, people in SL do not buy cigarettes in packets; they buy them one by one; they never get to see whats is on the packet.
So Mr Sirisena, the end is near; goodbye my dear friend; hope you go back to your grassroots and till the paddy field s in Anuradhapura.
Goodbye my dear friend, you had opportunity as a Senior Minister and as a Secretary of SLFP which you failed to grasp. Hope you get out of the evil clutches of CBK, RW and Mangala and Champika and hope you live long earning a rich and fulfilling life as a farmer in the dry North-Central province.
As Amden says, if MY3 becomes President, abasaranai 4 all.
I hope the Sun fails to rise tomorrow because it may be a terrible day where the King and His Royal Family will be facing decimation due to the stupidity of the CBK-RW cabal.
Nepotism was found in UNP and under CBK, who appointed his sick mother as PM, who did nothing for the good of the country. Her obese brother was even worse, who enjoyed flights abroad on first class travel and 5 star hotel accommodation doing F all.
Hon MR did not commit nepotism but appointed his 3 brothers to important positions in the govt as they were very capable and helped to end LTTE terrorism and build the economy of the country and infra-structure. They were loyal, trustworthy and not corrupt as MS was. MS and his 11 brothers were all corrupt and made billions at the expense of the poor and the country. I hope they rot in hell one day. His greed is his downfall. All that money he made was given to him as bribe by USA was credited directly into Swiss Accounts, so that the GOSL cannot touch it.
There is still more work to be done. Hence the need for a stable govt in the capable hands of Hon MR, not just for a 3rd term but also a 4th term if necessary. Besides the country needs security against militant LTTE terrorism from rising again under US and British underhand manipulation for their own vested interests.
