Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said if President Gotabaya Rajapaksa steps down as the Presidet, Basil Rajapaksa could become the President as he commands the majority support in Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP).

He told reporters in Kandy after visiting Mahanayake Theras yeterday that "We could never imagine the fate the country would have to face, if Basil Rajapaksa becomes the President".

The Minister said he was still of the opinion that President Rajapaksa was a politically inexperienced and failed leader.

"If he is a successful leader,he would never have invited us and offered ministry portfolios," he said.

We are now begging for food and money from foreign nations. Once SL was a rich and fertile nation. All this is because we had corrupt and selfish people in power since 1950'a.

Undoubtedly, Rajapaksas are very INTELLIGENT leaders that was why they invited you MUTTS to take some ministry to please you with PERKS, you do not really understand their master plans. That is why we call Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe

How can a dual citizenship holder be the president? If a dual citizenship holder cant contest the presidency election then how can a dual citizenship holder be the president though the person commands the majority in parliament?

Don't play any tricks be honest and do what you said. Basil may have the support of majority of the SLPP with his purchasing power with the money hoarded from the people of this country. But he will never win in an election. People knows he is a criminal.

You should have known, he is a long time agent. This is how spies work. They put the cat out of the bag and tell who they are when they want to. All these so many Sinhalese political parties and their leaders link to Tamil Tiger supporting spies in the West.

If the 21st amendment to the constitution is passed only a President is elected by the majority vote in the Parliament, therefore it is premature to predict and maintain the status-quo.
