The new Big Boss was accorded a warm welcome when he arrived for inaugurating the 8thDiyawanna council and delivering the policy statement of the national unity government.
As he walked down the aisle he saw the former strongman, now an ordinary Diyawanna member seated in the front row and warmly greeted him.
Everyone present on this solemn occasion, attentively listened to the new Big Boss’ address except two Diyawanna members who were seen napping, perhaps lulled by a feeling of wellbeing that comes over one after enjoying a sumptuous meal. One of the two found dozing was a Green Ministerial one of the yahapalanaya administration and the other a Blue one who held a high office in the opposition, both hailing from the hills. The two shuteyes were a conspicuous sight for those watching the proceedings over the TV, but were hardly noticed by those present at the ceremony. And the duo suffered no immediate embarrassment either as they were wide awake when the curtain came down on the event!
