Colombo, November 1 (Daily Mirror)- Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe could make a comeback as people may start looking up to him in the event of another economic crisis which looks to be a possibility, former MP and New Democratic Front (NDF) Kalutara District candidate Dr. Rajitha Senaratne said.

“Wickremeisnghe could come back through Parliament to play a key role in restoring the nation in an eventual economic crisis, if he wants that way or he could play the role of an advisor if he does not want to come through the national list,” Dr. Senaratne told a media briefing.

“The world has lately learnt that Wickremeisinghe is a capable person though he is criticised here in Sri Lanka. The IMF has advised Ethiopia, which has suffered economic turmoil, to follow Sri Lanka. In addition, US Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu referred to Sri Lanka’s economic resurgence as a great comeback story. This means that the World is aware of Wickremeinghe’s ability. Therefore, he should be brought back to active politics even by amending the existing laws,” he added.

Hats off to RW! He should now stay outside to (i) build others' capacity and (ii) make people realize his absence.

It was not rocket science by Wickremasinghe to restore the nation after its downfall. This restoration came into being partly due to the aragalaya who chased away the crooked Politicians and a Leader who was never successful but never crooked slipped into the throne. Thereafter, it was the guidance of international countries and international bodies that guided, provided emergency supplies, renegotiated debts that gradually put the country back to its footing. Note also, many Sri Lankans work outside and remit payments regularly which was also a credit. Today, those crooks who bankrupt the Nation are trying a comeback through their only lifeline Ranil, claiming he was the saviour where actually he is not.

Dear Ranil. We love you so much. You have done enough to the country. Therefore, we want to see you retired and enjoy your retirement which will benefit the entire country and the people. Rajitha you do the same thing please

Sri Lanka economic recovery is because of India's full backing directly and through IMF to Sri Lanka. There is no hero in Sri Lanka who provided his brilliance. India has immense power both as a country and Indians heading the World Bank and are in top management roles in IMF. In this process, Sri Lankans don't know what Wickremasinghe promised India in return - handover national assets for a song and give access to vital economic sectors. Remember nothing comes free or for love.

Nobody is aware whether, Mr Wickramasinghe has left the leadership of the UNP and according to UNP constitution, he cannot start and lead a new party, if he haven't done so. He could be challenged in courts or the Election commissioner intervening according to stipulated regulations at time of nomination submissions. Logic tells us what has happened to the elephant symbol and ofcourse " Sri Kotha".???

Rajitha, First I hope the people of Kalutara will reject you completely this time. You are a person with no principle. You entered the Parliament from SJB votes and then joined Ranil. If you respected ethics, you should have resigned rather than disrespecting the people who vote for you. I see you and Ranil are hoping economic collapse of this country, the only way Ranil can try to get into power. Not through a vote. Those days are gone, do not dream.

Another joker. Everyone knows that Ranil is planning to come back again, either through the list, back door or any available orifice. That's the nature of this miserable man.

You and Ranil are both defunct. Just stop day dreaming and stay at home. RW did nothing but load the masses with taxes and false promises. He is a total failure and did nothing but protect those pohottuwa rogues to rob more. He and his politics are retarded just like you. Even you robbed the country left, right and centre. The entire country has rejected you morons. So stop talking bullsh..... to the people who are none the wiser now.

RW has a high opinion of himself, but his intelligence is lacking to know that he is a 17 time loser and the people have rejected him over and over again. Only people who wants him are the crooks like him for protection.
