MP Anura Priyadarshana Yapa who is familiar with the newly founded political party called New Sri Lanka Freedom Party scotched speculation today about former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga’s son Vimukthi Kumaratunga was joining politics at this moment.

Yapa said he however could not predict on what would happen in the future but no such discussions to get Vimukthi into politics had been held at the moment.

Earlier, Kumaratunga ruled out her son joining politics 'whatsoever'.

Meanwhile, rumors floating that SLPP MP Namal Rajapaksa was set to take over the Podujana Peramuna was also false, sources said.

Party seniors said that such discussions had not even taken place. (Kelum Bandara)

Now Sri Lanka has become a political battle ground with each group creating new political parties ..How many parties do we have ? How many leaders do we have now .? Yet public suffer and yet the country suffers ? Why is it? What matters is not all this patties but the quality of politics.. Who can deliver? Who can save this country and Who can make a difference ? Who has got charismatic leadership skills ?

His grand father SWRD Bandaranaike was a Christian but renounced Christianity and became a Buddhist when he personally experienced white racism while at Oxford. After returning to Sri Lanka he got into national politics, he was a highly intelligent deep thinker. He had so many plans for Sri Lanka including uniting the Sinhalese and the Tamils and creating a powerful Sri Lanka. India hated him for “not respecting”them and the British hated him for challenging British interests in Sri Lanka. Such a man could have been the greatest leader to both the Sinhalese and the Tamils after the British occupation ended in 1948. But first he had to win the elections which depended on the Sinhalese majority. Inorder to achieve that he unexpectedly “took the dirties route” by whipping up anti-Tamil feelings among the Sinhalese voters and introducing “Sinhalese Only” policies in the parliament. Thus he won the elections but permanently destroyed the goodwill that existed between the two races.

Vimukthi your decision not to involve in politics is very wise. Sri Lanka all politicians are crooks and rogues. Be a gentleman and keep away from Srilanka politics.

There are no barriers for Vimukthi to entering politics, If there are barriers which comes from public as they are opposing family ruling or family politics in which we had in Sri Lanka for many decades. Coming to politics and serve people in this poor nation is completely up to him

We don’t need Bandaranayak’s ,,Jayawardena’s, Rajapaksa’s, Premadasa’s, Wickramasinghe’s to run this country anymore. Above mentioned clans knows how lucrative the political business is. That’s why all these clans wants there siblings to go into politics .

At this moment of time is history by the time he makes his decision. Ranjan Ramanayake said he joined a party as he needs a platform. So now he has many platforms in addition to his massive popularity.

To add little bid more to it, All of them were produced in colonial. All of them were fake heroes . they faked themselves to set up Sinhalese against one another and stay in power. And as a result, they hade to make Sinhalese Modayas. without make public Modayas, they could not stay in power. Moreover, to make things worst, their technology of making Sinhalese Modayas gave victories to foreign countries and spies want Sinhalese go to hell and take control of Sri lanka. The were the fifth column and they are now. It was not Tamil or Muslim.. Tamil, Muslim or any they group can't never be a fifth column in the first place if they were not the fifth column. Look at their history. They all were foreigners who came to Sri lanka in colonial Time except Pramadsas. Some other examples: Did they ever went schools or holidays In China, Russia, Lybia of Soudi Arabias where they thought to have close friends? No, They all came to UK, US, Europe, and Canada with their children and lived luxury

We must only have leaders who are brilliant in all respects and nothing less. If Vimukthi has them, he is most welcome to lead and steer the country from poverty to prosperity. No more experiments please. We need very capable leaders with proven track record

You will definitely not fit into Sri Lanka politics. You won't be able to change this mafia system by yourself. Stay where you are

UK has one Royal Family. Sri Lanka has many Royal Families whom are fighting among themselves for power. People are suffering. Make government smaller. Give private properties back to people. Stop the monopoly of Government Enterprises. So these families will become irrelevant.

This is a master TRAP set by Welgama for his own political existence, so, we hope your mother is wise enough to see through it and save you from becoming another utterly hated individual like NR and SP!
