Man who revealed the truth.
We are witnessing the truth what he told before good governance elected.
Agree with you, Niyamasinhalaya.
Similar to the deal the R Brothers had with Late Uncle Velu for the boycott of the 2005 Presidential Elections ( in return for a couple of Helicopters loaded with American Dollars ), this hero, Tissa Attanayake spilled the beans on TNA support for the Presidential candidate in the 2015 elections in return for a promise of a New Constitution with “Federal” provisions for Tamil self rule in NP and EP.
It all now depends on what the Big Rajapaksa will do because his support, JO in Parliament and amongst the rural population, is crucial in approving the New Constitution with “Federal” provisions.
Big Green Man RW is trying to screw the R’s with all these corruption allegations and murder charges while at night, he is instructing FCID and the Magistrates who to arrest and who not to be arrested. He is the saviour of the R’s, a promise he made on 9 Jan 2015 to ensure the exit of Big R from Temple Trees.
As Udaya G said yesterday, the only way forward for the Sinhala Lion to roar will be to ban the TNA (like what JRJ did) for sedition.
Excellent analysis, Chie, much admired.
The Green RW is the Saviour of the R’s.
There’s a lyric which reads as “Sinhalaya Modaya, Kavun Kanna Yodaya”.
True in Sri Lankan Politics.
Big R cannot come to the politics, that has been agreed with RW.
In return RW promised not to arrest Big R’s wife.
Poor people in the country still waiting MR to say a word for the new party.
Which will not getting into reality.
JO members are aware of the same, yet they keep the ball rotating by coming up with different topics in each week. Just to keep some people at their side.
Country politics are clearly written for further 3 more years. People has to bare the bitter part of it.
Sometimes country will mortgage to the world bank or India.
ETCA will be signing without people’s consent. Many other bills get approved as well.
Just face for it.
No words or protests can change the things.
