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.

Sadly mistaken. It’s the Raja Powla who bankrupted the country who invited them with a 2/3rd majority. Don’t try to hide and fool the public.

The Dentist's calculation has gone wrong. If the dentist comes back to Parliament he will move away from Ranil and will move towards AKD. He is more foxier than Ranil. Greed for money moves most Politicians.

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

The Principle is Queen or King Never dies. Ranil due to excessive knowledge on the constitution day dreams that he is going to live for ever. When People do not have children , they do not understand ageing porocess.

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.

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.

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.

All these people are putting the course for this government to collapse so they can have Ranil back and have back their luxury life style with expensive cars and other stuff from poor people's money. This is not going to happen at all see the people around them to run the country all well educated people. Not 3 or 5 standards educated and thugs to run the country. So accept the reality and sit down and just watch. Dream on fools.

Yeah right Sri Lanka and Ethiopia in same status “bankrupt countries “ because of our wonderful politicians who worked hard to bring to this great status. Now the same politicians giving advise how to run a country and saying they can do better. RW thinks he did great to bring the country out from crisis, if he would have done it by not taking IMF loan and restructuring debts payment and delay the loan payment and lifted the country by other revenues then we could say that.

Rajitha is a well known crook whose innings is over. RANIL’s luck surfaced to climb the greasy pole. However being an arrogant man who is far removed from the common man could not win those who elevated him to the hot seat.He is well known to protect the corrupt,a case comes to mind how he tried to protect Sujeeva Senasinghe and others on the bond scam. That class of people will not surface again.

Rohan Tuesday, 19 November 2024 07:47 PM

What ever said or done, he did his job as Health Minister and never to the extent of the existing state. So it’s upto the new minister to prove his job and clear out all the culprits. Including the crooks working there. There are a plenty of cases to be looked into.

Toothless dentist regretting that he backed the wrong horse and has no place to go. RW has always been a loser and the comeback kid dream might still be his wish again hoping that he could creep in through the back door the slimeball that he is. This clown is the main cause of the bankruptcy today as when he was in power in 2015 was the time the highest borrowings took place. Clueless and ignorant and all he did was just raise taxes which any monkey could do causing immense pain and hardship to the masses. The lions and lionesses that adore this joker will always be there praising him raising his ego as they have all been looked after by sucking up to him and receiving various useless, jobs that have achieved nothing with tax payer and donor funded monies that could have been used for much better purposes.

Now some will think twice before coming in to politics because there is hardly any perks and black money to be made. All these years they came in to politics with that in mind and they were shameless, un educated and corrupted people. Now those days are gone.

Clearly understood Sajith’s stance keeping a distance against Ranil. Ever since Sajith and his team left him, he had never won a seat. That is the reality. It was Sajith and team who stood Ranil against M3 having two PMs and cleared it. He also was wise not to accept the PMs post from M3. If so HE too would have to be responsible for the Easter Attack and would have to been answerable. This too would have to be analyzed carefully which M3 too would have understood. Not can understand who Ranil really is.
