This state purohita from Digamadulla known for his simple lifestyle had the other day got into an ugly mood. 

The politico had flown into a rage over a question of awarding contracts for road construction and development.  
When he made plans to award contracts to  persons of his choice for road construction and development activity in his area with funds from his own budgetary allocation, the Highways Ministry had sent their contractors to handle this work. And the contractors in his area feeling aggrieved about it had blamed the state purohita about it. 

The state purohita who lost his temper had gone to the Highways Ministry and railed at some mandarins and that had led to an ugly scene there.

The incident had later been reported to the regime high-ups and the latter had justified the state purohita’s conduct. The highways political authorities are said to be very unhappy about this outcome.
