SLPP General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam refuted reports that plans were afoot to appoint former president Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Prime Minister.

He told a news conference that if Mahinda Rajapaksa is to be brought in as the Prime Minister, then he would be brought in with the blessings of the people and not in secret with heavy security in place.

"A baseless news is being spread that there is a plan to bring in Mahinda Rajapaksa as the new Prime Minister and hence heavy security is in place in Colombo. Some politically bankrupt people are spreading this news to gain cheap publicity,” he said.(Ajith Siriwardana)

MR is desperate to make a non existent way for NR. They are now a lost entity.....like it or not. Future is between UNP/SJB/NPP and other Minority Parties.

It is a clear warning. Even if you try the public will react again. Hope you haven't forgotten the past. Why don't you advise him to go home once and for all??

If you bring this man again, China will give funds to him and will credit it as Sri Lanka Government's debt. Again Sri Lanka will go under Indian ocean.

Sri Lanka would have to be deserted by "all good spirits" and Lord Buddha if she would ever again entrust Mahinda Rajapaksa and any other member of this family with political office!!! This would be a betrayal of the will of the majority of the people!

Even if Sagara and the Pohottuwa gang want to install MR as PM , there is no way as Ranil will not allow that to happen. Ranil wants as PM somebody who will say " yes Sir" for everything Ranil says and does.

Do not forget this greedy guy for perks and benefits ousted Ranil and sat in the seat for approx. 52 days. This despite knowing or pretending to know the law. Nothing is impossible with Power Hungry Rajapakse.

I am not against Mahinda Rajapakse. He certainly with his gangs brought the economy down. He is his family are 100 percent for this situation. Yes, he defeated the LTTE. The cost is we all are paying. Today this government is going after the minority when we have no money.

Old classic Rally Tuesday, 16 May 2023 08:16 AM

If MR take up position, there will be a whole heap of Alibabas to take over lost positions. When a "Classic Car Rally" takes place, it is not a single car, but a rally of a whole heap of Old cars! Otherwise there is no kick!

President has no choice, he has to listen to MR for his survival, otherwise all the 140 will kick him out.
