Since RW did not agree to hold the General Election first, this is the first attack on RW by Basil. He is indicating that they will not support him! Good for RW, this will show the public that RW never worked hand in glove with these crooks.

At the moment Ranil is laying eggs in Kaputas Nest. During Aragalaya we could not trace one Pohhutuwa MP all went hiding.They kept Ranil in the helm and raised their head and voice for their survival.But Ranil will stick to constitution will not listen to Pohuttuwa Orphans

Don’t forget ranil was appointed as President by this crook, so ranil owes his gratitude towards Basil. If Ranil does win, Basil will be the prime minister.

This is just a red herring, the deal is already done, if ranil wins all the rajapaksas will be in top positions.

This is just a show. They probably have already made a deal. Basil will be the finance minister under ranil.

Court verdict as precedent! Friday, 10 May 2024 04:35 PM
Can the court verdict given to Diana be used as a precedent for others like Gommanpilla, Basil, and any others who are citizens of other countries?

Ranil will take things out from his side pockets on time. Basil will permanantly go back to America.

Still Rajapaksa's family eager to rob the state hard earned foreign exchange earned by Ranil. People still go behind Rajapaksa's family I do not know what you call tham just ignorance after all the damage done to the economy.

Looking Very Confident for Success Friday, 10 May 2024 05:18 PM
Correct. looking very confident and waiting to squeeze something out of the masses. They still have a following as they are definitely looked after well. These people are capable in dishing out their success with the necessary skills sets and security forces might be on their side too!

Hay Kaputa Basil, if you don't have Presidential Candidate who cares. If no candidates, keep away from the Presidential Election and let the other parties contest and select the right person. Get lost first.

L.P. Mendis Friday, 10 May 2024 04:22 PM
Mr. Basil, people does not care for SLPP anymore. Either you select a candidate or not, no worries and we are not bothered as your man will lose very badly. Mind your business and go back to USA without making us mad.

Who cares for Potuwa? Who cares for Basil or Mahinda? According to the masses - you all guys are dead and gone to hell for the damage you all did.

Doesn’t seem the case! Look at scavengers behind them, looking very confident at every opportunity waiting to squeeze something or somewhat out of the masses. They still have a following as they are definitely looked after well. Might be a hard fight and these people are capable in dishing out their success with the necessary skills sets.

Still pohottuwa can get around 2 to 3 million votes minimum. Some are underestimating the core voter base. Probably Namal or Shashindra will contest if the presidential election is held. Latter may get more votes than Namal. If general election is held first they will still get around 20 to 30 seats.

Don’t be surprised he succeeds! Voter’s mentality is very low in SL to as seen over the years and may continue again. Just give some freebies for around Rs4000/- for each voter during elections rallies and they will milk them off in the next 5 years of around Rs400k per person!

Your Presidential candidate is Ranil Rajapaksha. That is known by everyone.

Thank you for your service to the nation Sir. The best person for the job is Namal. He is young and energetic to rebuild the economy.

Might as well face the presidential election without a candidate. The result would be the same. An ignominious defeat.

Has Basil forgotten who is running things now, and that the Rajapakse family is a totally spent force? The current leader is not going to dance to Basil's tunes, he never has and never will. By 2025 the Rajapakse name will be erased from politics.

If you love us so much why don't you give up your USA citizenship. Why loot this country? Then you buy a beautiful house in the USA or UAE

If RW, NR and SP all contest and possibly others too that favours the JVP. Presidential election must be held first.

If you are not happy with RW, bring a no faith motion against him.

Pottuwa criminals do not have to contest any elections. All of you may have to go to jail. No more politics.

Whoever comes under pohottuwa, you can see a big loss only. To gain some sort of votes , it has to be your big brother ...but he cannot contest now.... so better to keep away and stay in US .....

If SL has a strong legal system before as now, Kaputu mama and the clan should be in jail instead of talking about election! People are waiting to see this happen very soon!! Then back to 7-11 shop assistant!!
