Good Luck! Appropriate symbol as the main problem faced by the people during the economic crisis was LP gas for cooking their meal that was solved first.

We received Gas. You'll receive votes. We never forget the difficult time we passed without Gas, Electricity and Fuel.

Tear gas canister or water cannon would have been more representative of his actions.

Yes, for sure. No sooner the election results are released - Mr. Gas Ranil will be burst in to pieces then his MR's henchmen will join with Namal.

If Elephant symbol is not there most of the Estate Workers will vote for Ranil, now to see Gas Cylinder no one knows. Means 20% votes will be wasted belongs to Ranil.

This is a stupid symbol; It can implies many things. It brings back all nostalgia of suffering in the past. What kind of people who advised Ranil to use this symbol. it means it could explode ..fire is a destroyer not a good one. you may think that you have reduced the price but people know it is a temporary measure.

The public might ask whether this is one of your latest jokes in a symbol of gas which will make the people laugh knowing there is the LAUGHS GAS

Appropriate symbol as on the 22nd morning it would have run out of gas !

They say "All gas and no ....". Never mind. You get the joke! Lol. Good luck Ranil. RW still is the most capable and presentable to stand among world leaders, and negotiate with international governments. Yet to see any other candidates doing any work other than debating. Don't vote with your emotions but vote wisely.

The symbol is a very foolish one. No votes at all, a laughing stock.
