Subama suba Anagatayak wewa
Mr.president,i wish you a very bright future and god Bless You….
This is more a defeat for the Ranil Wickramasinghe led UNP
Ranil, please resign.
Hope TNA will wrap up their mission and go back.
TNA is calling UNP to join hands to form a Eastern Province provincial government. If Ranil agrees that will be the last nail to bury UNP.
Quite so Nihal, Ranil has nothing more to loose. He will join with even the devil to stay as the leader of the UNP, unless the membership throws him out into the dust bin.
