The derelict loner of the Old left who created a sensation when he spewed out scorn with choice filth on the Green leader in the Diyawanna House recently took even close political associates by surprise when he declared his opposition to giving nomination to the two siblings to contest under the Betel leaf at the coming general election

Intrigued by the derelict loner’s avowal, some inquisitive persons had made discreet inquiries and came up with the reason why this loner is opposed to at least Sibling G: because the latter’s entering the fray will dim the prospects of at least two stalwarts of the rebel group he is now running with these days, they say.
