We have had enough of the rogues. Time for a change. Those who do not agree, keep voting for the rogues. There is a sizeable number of people who will vote for NPP even if it goes against the norms.

Not an alternative to Ranil. 88 89 will be back.

This man is an astrologer, unfortunately he has completely over looked the conduct of JVP after they embrace democracy 35 years ago and since then there is no any complain of them even pelting a stone at somebody.

They helped MR win in 2005. Did they do anything for the country or just sit on the side lines and comment and complain all the way like they do now? Their economic policies are close to Cuba than China. China doesn't want their exports stopped. We have to increase exports but not by stopping imports. All the creditors will ask us to settle the debt over night if we did.

Don, you seemed to be forgetting important aspect of politics very fast. When Chandrika and Ranil duo were governing the country the people of the south needed permit from LTTE to visit north . Even Chandrika was considering to establish 10 year interim administration giving power to LTTE to stop the war. In this back ground JVP did the correct thing in supporting MR to break this dangerous path fallowed by Chandrika.JVP was very correct in bringing MR to power that helped to win the war. When MR started to fleece the country with his family and cronies they back out declaring war against M R. This is the truth

He is not going to Japan for the purpose of building our nation and going there just to collect money from Sri Lankan expats. In Japan he will only criticize past and present SL government but as usually not divulge any propose solutions and implementation time frames.

Sajith spends his donations to build modern classrooms and donate medicine to hospitals. Anura to go on foreign trips in 1st class and spend in 5 star hotels

Feel sorry for your ignorance, these meeting are arranged by sri Lankan communities and all the costs are born by them, NPP does not have cassino sponsors like for Sajith

Save the country? These are the guys who sank the country since 1971 . No credible plan to revive the country.

I wonder how you are not aware about what happen to country from 1989 to 2024..?

Ram Friday, 19 July 2024 02:55 PM

All expats who left the country dissatisfied with the respective governments have come forward to support Anura. This is a good sign and in the event of his win many expats are likely to return to get our country on its feet. Hope all efforts will be fruitful

I think he is taking his own party for a ride. How many votes is he going to increase by spending millions of rupees to visit other countries?

JeffK Friday, 19 July 2024 03:30 PM

Lucky man. At this rate he will visit all 192 countries. I don't think even Bill gates has done that.

There are Indians all over the world. I have never seen Indian politicians organising election meetings abroad. Probably JVP is richer than BJP.

Tissa Fernando Friday, 19 July 2024 05:25 PM

Yes, they are richer as they get payment for contracts undertaken for creating chevos in the country.

Wish you all the best AKD as we know your journeys abroad helps to convince our SriLankan who are living there of the pathetic situation of our country.

Volker Metzger Friday, 19 July 2024 04:39 PM

The alternative to the "villains in power," as one commentator writes, must be carefully considered and decided upon, despite the urge for radical change in the political situation in the country! The old corrupt family political clique with its sometimes criminal machinations must go, everyone is clear about that, even the "relatively" inaccurate surveys of the population show that it must go! The big, but all-important question is whether the NPP, with its previously known political proposals and programs and its leading candidate AKD, is the optimal solution!?

Volker Metzger Friday, 19 July 2024 04:41 PM

Particularly in the area of economic policy, the NPP has not yet made any convincing concepts public for overcoming the debt policy, increasing investment and ending the ongoing economic downturn! The travel activities of presidential candidate Anura Kumara and his specific political activities at home and abroad to date do not yet indicate the personality traits and leadership qualities absolutely necessary for the president!!! However, it depends on the personal and mental strength and power of the future president whether the country can succeed in changing and transforming towards a better future!!!

Stop trying to impress your class of people by going abroad frequently, only to beg for money for your party AKD! You are so pathetic!

Maybe he is going to Japan to reserve and pay for his Luxury Car and get some expensive clothes to him, his friends and for his family.

Bernard Jayatilake Friday, 19 July 2024 06:38 PM

If he comes to power what is the guarantee that he will not govern the country from overseas judging by the number of overseas trips he makes to foreign capitals to hunt elusive votes from the expatriates or are these secret missions?

Vernon Friday, 19 July 2024 06:50 PM

Most seems to be commenting not listing to his speeches and their action plans. Just listen to the speech by him at Kandy very recently. You will be amazed at the amount of data he brings out only by memory. Plese don't criticize without knowing facts from all sides. There are many in public thriving due to this corrupt system. So, they do not want AKD to come to power. So the negative comments are not surprising at all.

Tissa Fernando Sunday, 21 July 2024 04:37 PM

AKD talks about other's garbage only. He has no solid plan except saying that they won't do what Ranil is doing.

These meeting are arranged by sri Lankan communities in those countries and all the costs are born by them, These people do not expect anything in return but they know the potential to develop Sri lanka with a visionary leader.

Is Anura Kumara running away from SL to avoid facing 22nd amendment gazetting? Is he doing this as he is a slave of Ranil?

Jeanne Saturday, 20 July 2024 04:50 AM

Hope he enjoys his World Tour 2024. What the public really want to see are his POLICIES. No government is perfect and it is impossible to please all of the people all of the time but, the least he can do is : Declare his Policies .... surely. Or, are his supporters so ignorant that they are prepared to accept his glib empty words as a basis for their votes? It's pathetic!

You're wrong! We'll be losing more than what we don't already have - and that's a frightening prospect.

Yes, because NPP caused billions of losses already. What you will loose now is yourself.

All those who comments must understand that Anura is just a Presidential Election Candidate, when he was offered to save the country from economic downfall, he remained silent. All his banas are about condemning the situation of the poor Island. Sometimes, back he used to display lot of files, when he checked the list of files he found his name too and he immediately stopped this forever.

Terrence K Saturday, 20 July 2024 08:42 AM

There is a yawning question why Anura is roaming in all countries like a parasite on certain people providing him with funds expecting him to come into power. For people who have been carried away by his speeches promising the SUN MOON and STARS it will be to look at the past history because these will never materialize as he and his clan will have to eat their words of promises!!!!!!!!!

If he goes overseas, how can he manage English? He is educated than Namal but his English is very poor. A leader should be in a position to globally recognized language - English. Better after his return, he must take English Tuition.

Adwani Saturday, 20 July 2024 08:41 PM

@Prof. W.K. Rajapakshe - He meets only Sri Lankans abroad not foreigners. Besides, he is not going to take your advise on learning English Language as he is from Nationalist Party No Proper Progress / Program.

He goes aboard to earn money for his future. Even if he spends the money he gets for Big cut-outs and posters no one is least bothered as they know about JVP how they looted and massacred innocent people years before.

Fellow who was loafing barefoot - wears shoes worth 3.5 Lakhs. Fellow who was with the torn bannian begging with a JVP till at Borella - wearing shirts and trousers costing more than 1.5 lakhs. Even his leather belt will cost more than 75,000/- and he has about 25 expensive watches. He is next to Namal Rajapakshe.

Did that many former JVP subversives (or their offspring)leave for Japan during 89-90? How come Japan accept such misfits? Pathetic .
