He now sees good in his rival party leader!

There is a Swami who has won a high place among the city elite. A green party high-up, this Swami holds key positions in the kovils in the city. A member of the top team in Yahapalanaya, he lost his portfolio with the collapse of the national unity regime.

Swami now highly dejected having lost power and authority had recently an insult added to his injury: he had been asked to function as the coordinating officer of the North Development Ministry, a portfolio he once held at the top team level in Yahapalanaya!  

Swami had told several party colleagues that the Green leader had dealt a blow to his self-respect adding despite his political differences with the former strongman, he could say that the latter would never mete out this type of shabby treatment to any of his loyalists.
