Colombo, August 12 (Daily Mirror) - The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) will kick off its campaign for the upcoming Presidential Election with its inaugural public rally in Anuradhapura on August 21, according to MP Johnston Fernando.

Fernando highlighted that despite some SLPP leaders aligning themselves with the President, grassroots supporters remain loyal to the party.

He also revealed that several former SLPP members who had left the party are now seeking to rejoin, signaling a potential strengthening of the party's base.

They can hold the rallies throughout the country But the question is as to whether so organised rallies are attended by the crowds. Now Namal has been deprived of the support of the strong SLPP stalwarts who crossed over to either RW faction or the SJB. Although he contests for the upcoming presidential election Eventually he will have to face a huge debacle unprecedented

We are a nation that seems to be always selecting the wrong president and not the correct president when given a chance to vote. So the Kathiray (Wrong symbol) is cast for the President we vote to say that we are voting for the wrong President. Thats why we are now lamenting of a 76 year curse (Sarpay). So if Namal, AKD and Ranil all lose that means perhaps they were the right (Hari) presidents that the country should have had. Even in 2019 we proved to the whole world that we (a vast majority) selected the wrong president.

It s clear to any illiterate person that economic crisis did not happen solely because of Gotabaya-era.

Ask Gota to campaign for you, you can get the 6.9M votes that he received and is reserved for the looter Rajapakse's family

No way putha Namal, it is a waste of money holding SLPP meetings in Anuradhapura as it is a stronghold of Wijedasa Sirisena.

Hope Jonny will not get a "Matti Para" in Anuradhapura. In this meeting, AKD had already planted his thugs to show a game to Namal.

It is widely accepted that SLPP was responsible for the bankruptcy of this paradise Island, it is appropriate, if SLPP could explain their position in regard the above accusations.

Fools rush in, where angles fear toe tread. In which category does Namal belong? After all it is not his money that will be spent.

Anuradhapura is unlucky for SLPP as we saw with Gota. Start at Medumullana, the capital of pilfers!

What is the gist of a political saying: every country gets the government it "deserves"! If you look at the elections in Sri Lanka with this saying in mind, you can sense the worst!!! I'm no longer talking about the constant switching of MPs to various parties in order to save their own lives, or even about which party grouping should support which presidential candidate, but am thinking about the results that will be presented to the people at the end! Since a radical change, a fundamental change in the most important areas of current politics in the country is not to be expected from the current repeatedly mentioned leaders, Ranil, Sajith, Anura Kumara and the political genius Namal, and since the old power-political puppet masters, especially from the SLPP, will continue to be involved, stagnation, corruption, injustice and social inequality will continue to prevail! Times will remain hard, people will continue to suffer, politicians will continue to be corrupt and live very well!!

SLPP should publish their achievements, benefits accrurd, to the masses, during their tenure of governance, prior to appealing to the masses to vote for them and the reasons for the bankruptcy of the country, during their tenure of rule, as well.
