Colombo, November 11 (Daily Mirror)- Former TNA MP M.A. Sumanthiran alleged that President Anura Kumara Dissanayake had brought several thousands of people in buses last evening all the way to Jaffna to participate in the NPP's political rally attended by the President.

"For some strange reason President Anura Kumara Dissanayake brought a few thousand people in buses last evening all the way to Jaffna and spoke to them here, when he could have gone to their own districts and addressed them there. Travelling costs would have been much less. Stranger still, Sinhala people were given a translation of his speech in Tamil," he said, posting a message on X.

This is how they do for all the rallies. They have a special group of cadres of about 25000-30000 just to attend rallies.

He and his separatist minded scum can forget politics and parliament. Being married to prabaharans sister is no qualifications for Sitharan either. Separatism and era of communal politics is over.

What else can you expect from a president that looks like K Annamalai. It runs in the blood.

Well, its day by day, since NPP took the coveted EP post, is reveling their capacity. Just talkers only. To their credit, they have lucky number of blind followers that are ready to come in person to any nook or corner of the country to show the strength. It is a tactic that they have been practicing since long time back.

Sumanthiran tried a fast one to portray that he will be offered a Ministerial post under a Unity Govt of NPP. But he was denied. Now he is crying. 14th will show what the support for this Sumanthiran

This is the political literacy level of NPP supporters. Doesn't know Sumanthiran vs Douglas.

So was it the intelligentsia that voted in the leaders who robbed the central bank, scammed the country and sytematically pushed down the country to bankruptcy?

Totally a wrong statement by Sumanthiran who this time expected a defeat on 14th. I attended the meeting. Tamil people were brought from electorates leadership within jaffna and Kilinichi districts and not outside districts. Nowadays old Tamil leaders are jealous of seeing growing support to NPP in tamil areas.

I think suhandiran is unhappy as he couldn’t muster such a big crowd for his meeting in Jaffna

He is wrong and not ready to accept. My friends went to the meeting in their own and I was in Jaffna I too. Like that there are lot. He is scared that NPP will grab one or two seats in Jaffna.

For those who have no idea about the tweet, go check it in X first. You can see from the photos of Sumanthiran's post itself that the buses are from the North. They just provided transport to the location of the rally. Sumanthiran is just jealous now

Lawyers always lie to save their clients. This time Sumanthiran is his own client.
