Governor of Eastern Province Senthil Thondaman who met with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, had requested to build a Tirupati temple in Sri Lanka.

The Governor had made this request taking into consideration the large number of devotees who wish to visit the Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh (AP), India, but are unable to make the journey. The Governor noted that a considerable number of devotees who wish to make the pilgrimage are unable to do so due to their elderly age.

Chief Minister Reddy responded to the request favourably, the Governor's office said. Governor Thondaman who is currently on an official visit to India also met with officials of the Andhra Pradesh Chamber of Commerce to discuss investment opportunities in Sri Lanka. The Governor also held discussions on bilateral cooperation with AP officials in areas such as agriculture and apparel sectors.

During the discussions, the possibility of setting up an industrial park at the Trincomalee Port was also discussed. Special focus was also given to the possibility of setting up sugarcane and chilli cultivations, as well as establishing a pharmaceutical manufacturing company in Sri Lanka. (Kalani Kumarasinghe)

World has moved on to advance technologies, artificial intelligence, world trade, tackling climate change, mass production, great policy making for every people of a nation. This guy is about to build a temple. He is living in a primitive age, send him where he came from. He is not fit for a modern world, and he does not have new ideas or innovation. The world grown so fast, but he is 2000 year behind. How did he get this job.

You will have more scope if you join with Sajith and work rather than supporting Ranil.

So that is the urgent priority to the sector of people he represents. These Thondamans have always lived and capitalized on the ignorance of the sector of people they represent, similar to the Sinhalese who blindly worship statements by Mahinda, Gota, Gnanasara, Weerawansa and Gamanpila.

Well done Mr.Sendil Thondaman. A replica of Thirupathi is important during this period. So that disgruntled and people who are crying in silence due economic hardships can seek justice by shattering coconuts at the temple.

Mr.Senthil Thondaman, you are the one who transported your prized bulls to the " Jallikattu " event held in Tamilnadu last year by air-conditioned carriage when the estate workers are starving. May be your idea of building a Thirupathi temple in Sri Lanka save valuable foreign exchange for the country. You are living in another world, mate!

Building Pansala's, Kovils, Mosques and various denomination of Churches has become a competition nowadays. But the situation in the country and living standards of ordinary people is deteriorating day by day.
