Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa left the country today morning for a two day visit to India, which political sources termed as a 'private visit', the Daily Mirror learns.

The Prime Minister left for Thirupathi to visit the temple and seek blessings and will return back on Saturday. He was accompanied by his wife.

When contacted, officials from the Prime Minister's office, confirmed the visit and said it was a private visit and therefore no state funds had been used for it. (JAMILA HUSAIN)

Pray and see whether gods at thirupathi can bring in dollars. But remember they were all in hiding during Covid and the temple closed.

Year-end family tours by Rajapakses. Will the Indian Gods listen to these rouges? Why the Gods in Sri Lanka no good?

Because the Sri Lankan Gods are untrustworthy as much as the politicians.

Given the economic and social suffering the wider citizens are going through perhaps the government should fund free travel to India for all so everyone is blessed equally? No surprise the country is going downhill at a rapid phase.

None of the Rajapaksa clam should be elected at the next election. Full stop.

There have been nearly 3000 Gods worshiped around the world so far over centuries, but only yours actually exists.The others are silly made up nonsense. But not yours. Yours is real.
