To achieve Win for all , Sajith has joined with those who have brought SUBA ANAGTAYAk,and INNA RATAk and all these wording had not brought any positive results for SriLankan except for hard ship and misery. Sajith should be ashamed to have link with pohottu guys who vandalized this country. A KD will have a landslide victory over Sajith due to his stupid actions.

The SJB comprises number of parliamentarians who crossed over from the SLPP Besides certain politicians who represent the SJB once became the arch rivals along with the different political views. However now they are working together for the victory of SP Apparently they will expect the key portfolios. Thus far as we know the certain clauses of the SJB manifesto may be either derived or duplicated from the already presented NPP manifesto whatsoever the general public is well aware of party politics and false pledges. Therefore the people will use their sharpest weapon ( valuable ballot ) so as to elect the person whom they like on 21 of next month

What can we expect from him when he is surrounded by lot of pohottu guys who will become ministers if he is elected. Country will face a very sad situation if he comes to power.

People in this country still believe in these manifestos? Seriously?

It does not say anything will get done on day one. All presidents sit on their promises until close to their next election when they start actually working. Taxing the rich to fund the poor is the rule of thumb in this manifesto's economic reforms and recovery. Not the brightest idea. The rich are the largest employers, and their business are the heartbeat of the economy. Higher taxes for them will only be passed down to the poor who depend on the rich man's companies for survival. As for the anti-corruption laws, there is no reason to "strengthen" them if they are implemented in the first place. Recovering stolen funds is another point in this manifesto, and what other candidates talk about too. Yet, no one says how they will do it and they are not claiming to bring criminal charges against the perpetrators. So voters are not convinced. Overall, the vision is good but it will be interesting to see how this all will be implemented.

Excellent slogan and good set of election promises crafted with the help of an excellent PR team SJB. Well done! However, the aloofness of SP, although he likes to wear slippers, or refuses umbrellas to walk in the pelleting rain for PR still exposes a frightening reality of the same old R. Premadasa tyranny with him. Sure, he may not be as comfortable with common people like AKD or RW would for whatever personal reason and that is accepted, but he has to get serious at least now and wake of from his childish ignorance of an imagined Premadasa Royalty to look more like a democratic leader even falsely- don't you think?

Realistically only Sajit can win the South and the North. Others may win one and lose the other. That's not going to unify the nation. An excellent manifesto by SJB. NPP manifesto is a little unrealistic. Ranil's manifesto is a copy of SLPP old manifesto as most SLPP MPs are with Ranil. Unworkable.

When SJB has become a refuge for the fat rats jumping off the SLPP sinking ship, what can any sane person could expect? The load is too much and the SJB ship will sink too, unless it has already. You are a leader like RW; for personal gain only. Same players with different uniforms. No difference to the 'new band' led by RW. When you learn to put the country and her people ahead of your personal ambitions, you may see the light.

Next guy to embrace Sajith is Range Bandara who tried every thing to scuttle the presidential election few weeks ago praising his master Ranil. Now he is out and will embrace Sajith soon. He will erase all his rhetoric made, few weeks ago in fever of Ranil and record new set of recording praising Sajith. This it self is giving a clear message to the voter to whom he should vote. In short UNP and SJB are the two sides of the same coin. About Namal it is waste of time even to think.

He has no education, he never finished his education. He is very proud man who trying to impress people with his Sinhalese and English language this clearly shows who he is. He was a minister during yahapalan time too. Think before you vote for him.

Very nice manifesto, but implementing those are very hard, let's see how he will handle this task. Well, he can do it with the help of his team. Good luck.

Ranil's manifesto and yours have some equal clauses. Did Ranil steal from you or you copied from him Sajith?

Excellent.... Wow... it's really nice. When it is implemented my God, Sajith or SJB will not be shaken for another 20 years.
