Colombo, August 03 (Daily Mirror) - The incumbent government, led by President Ranil Wickremesinghe, has issued a significant number of liquor and gun licenses to Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MPs, claimed Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) General Secretary Dayasiri Jayasekara.

According to Dayasiri Jayasekara, over 1,200 liquor permits have been given to the MPs.

“The SLPP MPs also have the liberty to access all kinds of guns, starting from Rs 300,000,” he said.

“This type of action cannot be condoned. This is how Ranil Wickremesinghe has been wooing SLPP MPs,” he added.

Meanwhile, Dayasiri Jayasekara alleged that the present government has distributed funds worth over Rs. 30 million (per house) to those MPs whose houses were vandalized.

The country was bankrupted by Ranil during 2015-19 due to debt mismanagement.

If what Jayasekara says is true, and this would not really surprise anyone who knows Ranil's policies in the country, then the reports can be subsumed under the heading of corruption or bribery of MPs!!! As I have stated several times, Ranil will use any means to save his head!!! In doing so, he is acting cleverly and ingeniously, as is his way! Bribery that is indirectly aimed at the needs of the people, in this case licenses for arms and alcohol shops, promises to be successful!!! Does Ranil want to boost alcohol consumption by issuing more alcohol licenses and thus "intoxicate voters" so that they forget how bad his policies were when they vote!? The majority have now seen through the deceptions and tricks of the ruling caste of politicians and just want to get rid of them!!! Everything Ranil does will no longer help him, he will have to step down!

Those house pof SLPP M.P s were vandalised but only with slight damages but what they claim is a plot of land in the heart of their cities or compensation of above 20 million and the incumbent who is desperate to grab votes of those M.P. s if there is anything left would be inclined to accede to their demands like highway robbery of public property in daylight.

That's why we should support the govt. The people need their share of the magic potion to make their life easier and happier. We live in a liberal world.

This is how they lure the politicians to vote for them by giving such gifts, however RW will face disaster during this election and his followers will end up no where.
