August 18 - India's former cabinet minister and BJP member, Subramanian Swamy said that Namal Rajapaksa's entry as a Presidential candidate was welcomed as the Rajapaksa tradition was to accept India as a 'family'.

In response to a statement by SLPP Politburea member from the Northern Province, Geethanath Cassilingham, saying that Namal will launch his maiden Presidential rally on August 21, Swamy said there was a warm welcome for Namal in India because unlike leaders in other neighboring countries, the Rajapaksas were welcomed due to Mahinda Rajapaksa ending the war against the LTTE.

"Mahinda Rajapaksha ending the war against LTTE " is not the correct statement. The correct statement is that Mahinda Rajapaksha crushed LTTE and ended the 3 decades of civil war. Then he was accused of causing economic bankruptcy in Sri Lanka. The accusations of fraud has not been proven in court . He has been accused of taking loans to build express ways, harbours, Air Port and some buildings.

This man is a nobody today. Modi sacked him from the BJP 10 years ago. Since then he has failed to get into parliament despite trying from 2 seats.

Why this fellow worried about Sri Lanka? This unwanted character has gone with Mahinda now coming through Mahinda's son.

Modi is close to Rajapaksas. Well known. Tamil Nadu totally rejected BJP at the parliamentary elections a few months ago. That will be same result with Rajapaksas.

If anyone did believe this arrogant fool he/she can be at fools paradise. That exactly the place a fool like Namal with minimal education and low IQ deserves.
