A parallel to the fable about the fox and the grapes

There is a certain former Ministerial one stranded between two worlds. If he vows now to stand by the deposed strongman, he would next moment predict the victory of the Green party at the coming election as if it is his singular wish.
It is a well-known secret that this politico who somersaulted to the Betel leaf camp from the Green party at the most opportune moment is now poised to make a U-turn. A popular teledrama actress is said to be busy these days clearing his way back to the Mahagedara.
The actress had visited the Mahagedara of the Greens thrice, but had returned empty handed as both Nuwara Kiri Aiya and Kegalle Kabir had objected to the prodigal being given party nomination to contest from their districts.
Meanwhile, the former Ministerial one had said in disgust that politics had become too bitter for him.
Reacting to the disappointed politico’s utterance, a Green party stalwart had quipped: “A typical parallel to the fable about the fox and the grapes!”
