Colombo, August 8 (Daily Mirror) - Irrigation, Wildlife and Forest Resources Conservation Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi today said that she will support President Ranil Wickremesinge at the upcoming Presidential election.

She said in a statement that most of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna party members in Ratnapura district had informed her to support Ranil Wickremesinghe at the upcoming Presidential election.

“When making crucial political decisions, I have always followed the policy of listening to the people and party members of the Ratnapura district who work with me,” she said.

“Furthermore, I believe that a government leader who makes direct and realistic decisions is needed at this moment to further build our motherland, which we have all made stable with great sacrifices,” the Minister said.

“Therefore, I have decided to remain with the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna and support Ranil Wickremesinghe,” she added.

Recently we hear from those who crossed over to Ranil that they are supporting him because of the request and consent of his or her constituents. One says he has been advocated by his mother. These are popular political jokes of the day. Hooray!

This will cause RW to lose another 50,000 votes. Remember Dammika penie story.

Mr Wickramasinghe knows well, this election won't goes well with him. So he collects all corrupted and totally rejected SLPP politicians to send behind bars, after the elections, to clean the country and also to maintain good governance. Do not forget he is man elected four times the premier and spend over 40 years at the parliament

One by one wickets are falling but what about the people's choice and people verdicts. Will these MPs ever get voted next time. In the next general election out of 225, it is predicted 150 political will fall but some wickets will be due to run outs or wrong empire's decisions. yet, many will fall next times. People are in wating to beat all those MPs next time. .Sorry to say that many MPS do not read the mood of people and politics has changed in the world and yet, our MPs live in stone stage.

Aiyo. The woman who fell at the feet of Mahinda, touched them, and worshipped him similar to something one would do to a parent, now abandons him. And these hypocrites were our Ministers and everyone only fleeced us. No wonder SL is what it is.

This is the only option available for all corrupt politicians to save them from getting behind bars for all their illegal activities. Unfortunately, our voters do not realise that and again they will vote for same people. Later, they will complain....grow up ...vote for a change...do not get carried away by telling about 88/89 and all strikes. Give them a chance,,, we have nothing to loose

You are "overseas" and will not be affected by repeated strikes and crippling of essential services-medial and education, so you can stay in the comfort of your adopted western country and vote for NPP to further take SL into deep abyss

This is what we see for decades decision are not made base on principal and it is base on personal interest. Hope and pray this corrupt system will see the end of the day very soon.

Ranil is the protector of the Rajapakses and all the other corrupt ministers so it's not surprising that she is supporting Ranil. What is worse is that our people still think these politicians have left the Jarapakses and are supporting Ranil when the simple fact is that all of this has been meticulously planned by RW and MR, so that our idiotic citizens will think they have split and fall into the same decades old trap. This is exactly what they want. Wake up people! Understand the simple fact that these good for nothing low lives are in it together. They will never split. MR wants RW to win. He knows that Namal has no chance. Remember Ranjan's words; 'mung okkoma yaluwo, malli'. If RW or SP wins, this country will be ruined. Just because there are no queues, doesn't mean our economy is all good. This election is our one and only chance to make a difference to drive these corrupt politicians out forever.

Pavithra, you got fed up of Mahinda. Poor fellow.

Whilst supporting RW give him a glass of Dhammika Paniya daily so that would soothe him to face the election result which would be a total disaster!

Your support is irrelevant. How many votes can you bring?

This double standard has further eroded any iota of your power based votes in the Ratnapura District as you have always been a nepotism supporter and you have followed the other Ministers only as a gratitude to the present ruler eventually hoping to retain your portfolio in the most unlikely scenario of him retaining power.

Its unbelievable that you are still around. You should have been fired immediately for your handling of Covid. You have done absolutely NOTHING for the country.

I am confused! How can Ranil believe that by gathering all the SLPP MPs who were hated by the voters, he would get the voters to vote for him? Is Ranil sane?

I belive more from SLPP join Ranil and Sujith as a protest of Presidential candidate of SLPP.

You all are going to end up total losers. Joining RW will not help to cover you sins. You will have to pay for all your wrong doings. You can see what has happened to MR now. He is paying for the that he committed like will you all also pay.

Mrs. Pavithra, you had a close affair with your former Security Officer (Sub-inspector) and lived with him secretly without the knowledge of your husband. Meantime, you loved Mahinda and now you left him also and jumped into Ranil's tent, why is he too sweeter than others.
