Colombo, Feb 08 (Daily Mirror) - The visit of National People’s Power (NPP) Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s visit to India is a welcome move and it is expected that his party will work with the present government, UNP MP and Chairman Vajira Abeywardena said today.

“It is good for the NPP leader to work with world leaders,” MP Abeywardena told a press conference.

“We hope that the NPP will contribute towards formulating national policies which will revive the nation. It is not something new for the JVP led NPP to work towards formulating national policies. The party has experience in doing so as it had worked with late President J. R. Jayewardene who helped them take a democratic route and thereafter with Late President Chandrika Kumaratunga, President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the government of 2015.

“Incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe also made it clear that he expects the NPP to work with the present government,” he added.

Additionally MP Abeywardena indicated that more concessions will be given to people for the Sinhala New Year.

This fool doesn't know what he is talking. He is imagining that his boss of 131 rouges could work with NPP which will never happen in this world. If he is a sensible guy he wont talk this rubbish that no one believes.

This guy Vajira A, must be going off his head for the stupid things he says. Seems like utter desperation as he can see the writing on the wall.

Idiots all around Sri Lankan politics. Indians are very worried that a small nation like Maldives has openly defied India and embracing China to the level that a formal defence treaty can not be ruled out between them. India fears, Sri Lanka may copy Maldives , hence invitations are going to Sri Lankan Politicians to visit India. And the fools are enthusiastically accepting the invitations.

THE POST BY RAVI KARU THAT I READ ELEVEN MINUTES AFTER IT WAS POSTED IN HERE AND TOOK A SCREEN SHOT AND I DON'T SEE IT POSTED, OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN REMOVED/DELETED. Friday, 09 February 2024 02:19 AM

ARE YOU HALUCINATING OR IS THIS TO CONFUSE THE NPP MEMBERS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS? WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE NPP LEADER ANURA AND HIS FOLLOWING WILL JOIN UNP AND THE GOVERNMENT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT ACCEPTED THE VERDICT OF THE S.C. NOR HAS ONE OUT OF THE MANY IN GOTA'S TRIBE HAS BEEN BROUGHT BEFORE A COURT OF LAW FOR THE TOTAL BREAKDOWN OF THE COUNTRY THAT RESULTED IN THE MASSES PROTESTING, GOTA FLEEING TO MALDIVE ISLAND, THEN ON TO SINGAPORE AND ONTO THAILAND BEFORE RETURNING LIKE A DOG TO ITS VOMIT AND LIVING TIN THE LAP OF LUXURY FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS IN SPITE OF THE FACT HE RESIGNED AND NEVER RETIRED? DREAM ON IF YOU THINK THAT ANURA IS GOING TO JOIN WITH THE GOVERNMENT, HE WILL BE FORMING THE NEW GOVERNMENT. YOUR COMMENTS ABOVE IS FAKE NEWS TO CAUSE TOTAL CONFUSION AMOUNGST THE CITIZENS. ALSO ASK YOURSELF WHY WAS RAVI KARU'S POST PUT HERE HOURS AGO AND NOW REMOVED. I THINK HIS POST WITH HIS COMMENTS AND JUDGEMENT SPEAKS VOLUMES, ONE OF THE BEST INTERPRETATIONS.

Sour Grapes. Vajira has realised that Anura is a rising star for the next election and India has assessed him as a likely winner

The dumbest thing the JVP/NPP can do is to partner with a bunch of crooks like you and your party of selfserving dinosaurs.

Present government is here to do all donkey work for rajapakshas, and that brought good fortune to people like abewardena ,who is rejected from Galle and few more like him , but not for public, RW has been ruthlessly suppressing public without any empathy, so even formerly UNP supporters and all most all 6.9 million, whom let down by Gota and SLPP manifesto, firmly decided to vote NPP, so they are no more 3%,and no political fun size party,but a huge one, even India wanted to give red carpet welcome to its leader,Now your case is, within next couple of months your fun time is over, even SLPP may be brush off your people unhappy projects and might field their own candidate, not to win but train for future, so again you are looser

I think you have forgotten that JVP supported both Chandrika and Mahinda to come to power. Also they were part of Chandrikas government. Lot of people seems to have forgotten the damage done by JVP to Sri Lankan economy and most importantly how they created havoc in Unis and delayed students from completing their degrees.

JVP supporters think it is a big achievement although they protested against all major Indian investments. The supporters already call him HE President Anura. You can even see 100's of torch bearers behind him. These guys definitely are expecting same favors like the MR supporters. You cannot change the political culture in Sri Lanka.

The person soaked in and bogged in mud often wants to drag and embrace his opponent too. UNP and SJB both have similarities in this behaviour.

India Can't lose Sri Lanka to China like it lost Maldives to China . So they are" Gifting" all the politicians directly and indirectly in Sri Lanka.

It is more like a training session for Anura and the gang.

This idiot Abeywardena like Ravi is is making a full effort to boost up the UNP, but they dont know that the UNP is now forgotten as a dead Party.
