Colombo, November 11 (Daily Mirror)- Former MP Rohitha Abeygunawardhane became emotional during an election rally in Kalutara where he said, with tears in his eyes, that he had been with the people over the years.

Abeygunawardhane said he will protect the people even as an Opposition MP in Parliament.

"I am a good organiser. I have never thought of my personal needs. I have been with the people. I will protect you even as an Opposition MP. It is good that we were defeated. Now, we can realise who the real friends and who the enemies are," he said in tears.

Looks like you've finally realized that people aren't going to vote for you anymore. Time to beg for votes!

Don't be deceived - these are tears of self-pity. And trying to play victim.

Oh my goodness, how heartbreaking these crying are, this feigned outburst of emotion from this selfless and self-sacrificing, honourable and saint-like man who worked tirelessly around the clock for his people. My heart has melted, I too am close to tears. But now my question: How can the former driver of minister Ediriweera Premarathna, who came to work by push-bike and has absolutely no education, and then with the help of this same minister became a politician and even a minister himself, amass 450 million rupees in a very short time? I don't even want to know what he has looted to date. The Bribery Commission has been conducting at least 66 investigations against this corrupt scumbag since 2016. Not to mention the investigations in 2008, after which the responsible officials of the Bribery Commission were transferred. Such criminals must never be elected to parliament again.

After carrying out relentless thuggery and corrupt activities, some politicians have resorted to weeping to get sympathy from the public. I do not think public would be that naive.

An ex-driver of an MP, who became a very wealthy politician solely from an MP's salary of Rs. 100,000(?), cried and lamented that after this election, he would no longer be able to maintain his fleet of vehicles, including his 1000cc Ducati racing bikes.

How high they fly one day have to come down begging the people. But the very people all this time fooled by all these corrupt politicians, they are awaken wide. This cleaning will be stop only after all corrupt politicians are cleaned from parliament. We do not want anymore murderers, thugs, liars, racist, drug dealers in the parliament. We want clean and working for the betterment of the people and country politicians

If you sincerely want to help the people there is no need to be a MP. Do not cry and beg for it. You can use the money you amassed illegally to help the poor people for sure.

Dear Raththaran; Crying will not help you. People are more intelligent now than they were few years ago. They will give an appropriate response when they vote in the Election.
