Now UNP and SLFP have joined hand to loot the country: this has been their politics. To get much benefit from any alliance. As long as their alliance are in tact, they will do any alliance . No policy nor ideology: As long as people are fool .. They can be fooling people . Now, new generation has waken up

The presence of Siripala De Silva at the forefront of the function is a complete affront to the legacy of the late SWRD Bandaranaike and a disgrace to the nation, given his unprecedented corruption. His appointment also reflects poorly on President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who bears responsibility for selecting De Silva as the Minister of Airport

Only legacy SWRD has is being labelled as 'father of racism' as he was one of the first to sow discord among all communities purely to capture power.

Pondering ‘what might have been’ many Lankans may think of what people like Herbert SriNissanka QC may have had in mind for the party that Bandaranaike took along an ethnoreligious path that made its post independence journey one of utter chicanery.
Similarly, if one looks at the Ramanathan brothers and the F R Senanayakes as the progenitors of the Ceylon National Congress as a precursor of the UNP, one can also be faced with many ‘what might have beens.’
Thus, where none of the leaders of both parties since 1948 and post 1970s had the prescience to stop and think and recalibrate their respective parties to be more relevant to the needs of the land and all its people, at crucial points, it has taken a post 2022 NPP to fill that void and facilitate a unified approach to reestablish good systems of administration and governance and moderate a dignified and productive path!

Corrupt, failed and rotten. Residuals emerge as illusive only alternative.

Ranil is the winner, he broke SLPP into pieces and SLFP into pieces. Now he is planning to split JVP also, be alert!! [In a way, Ranil is great took the right revenge on time with Rajapakshes and Mythiripala Sirisena]

Got to know through a reliable source that Sirisena had begged Ranil to be in the 73-anniversary stage, but RW had scolded him very badly and chased him out from his residence. Information received from Ranil's housemaid.
