Why is Minister Pavithra hiding? asks UNP

Chief Opposition Whip and Gampaha District UNP Parliamentarian John Amaratunga demanded to know why Power and Energy Minister Pavithradevi Wanniarachchi continues to keep silent on the electricity price hike, which had hit all consumers below the belt.
“She, as the subject minister, must tell the nation why such a price hike – which is of unprecedented proportions – had been effected. It funny that Media and Information Minister Keheliya Rambukwella is trying to give answers in a bid to mitigate the sufferings,” the Chief Opposition Whip told The Island.
“It seems that Pavithra had gone into hiding. We want to know the reasons for this silence. Is it because she knows nothing of the subject of power and energy coming under her purview or has Minister Rambukwella been appointed her spokesman,” the senior UNPer asked. (Courtesy: The Island)

Is she member of the Mafioso or the Rafioso?
Usually members of the Mafioso hide.
Hon Pavithra Devi Wanniarachchi is doing a wonderful job in her new portfolio. Pavithra is leading a revolution in power generation which will lead our nation towards being the “Wonder of Asia” within the next couple of years.
Pavithra is busy with her tasks and hence not available for public comment. Unlike the fossil by the name of John Amaratunge whose skeleton should soon be hanging in the UNP Museum, Pavithra is providing genuine leadership.
Pavithra lead a succesful capaign against corruption in the Judiciary where Senior Judges were buying appartments for their kith and kin from companies that had stolen vast amounts of monies from innocent citizens. With a decisive blow, Pavithra cleaned out the Judiciary of all corrupt activities.
Pavithra is on her definite path towards the next Premiership and if she obliges, she will be opening the UNP Museum for the preservation of Dinasour bones from the current leadership group.
What is the Truth? Boruda, Athada?
Cannot believe anything the Rafiosos say.
Give independent proof.
yes can be obtain the name of wonder of asia, but on those period no body lives here unless the rulers.
