A certain character who had once played advisor to the Big Boss and also held a high post in urban development later achieved his political success having entered the fray in the Gampaha district. 

Nowadays, he is said to be moving closer to the Telephone Diyawanna members playing their mentor at times!
All present indications are that the man is going to fill the void left by the young Telephone Diyawanna member who recently defected to throw in his lot with the interim government. However, some prominent Telephone party members from Gampaha are said to be dead against this move. 

These members say that that this character would be a liability to the party instead of being an asset. However, he has already won the heart of the chief whose discretion really matters, they say.
