If you make
a mistake in giving your vote on the 17 August, Sri Lanka
If you are fooled by a
few relief measures, a salary increase or low price of petrol , and want insecurity, fear and an uncertain future,
communal disunity, and bad features of a
western dominance
Then the symbol you
should vote for is the Elephant.
If you make an
intelligent decision unswayed by those
wearing coats, ties and English trousers, hiding their pocket size Bibles, want
a united Sri Lanka, assured of security,
free and peaceful, developed and progressive.
The symbol you should
vote for is the betel leaf.
It is a
parliamentary election, but the interest
is around two contenders for the office of Prime Minister. One is Ranil
Wickramasinghe caretaker Prime Minister and the second Mahinda Rajapakse the
former President of Sri
Lanka
The former
RanilW, had been in the opposition for
more than 20 years and done absolutely nothing for the good or the welfare of
the country. He never made any constructive criticism other than throwing mud
and discrediting the President MahindaR
and his government. He was rejected by the people 29 times.
RanilW had
however been given the opportunity by a
grateful President Sirisena who thinks he is President of Sri Lanka today
thanks to Ranil Wicramasinghe, to be the
PM. Sirisena grateful to Ranil but ungrateful to his former boss MR, made Ranil W the Prime Minister the same day he
became the President.
RanilW formed a UNP government for 100 days after the
people had elected Maithripala Sirisena for a change-Wenasa. Ranil and his UNP
Government stayed on for 180 days. It is this 180 days that is being taken into
account by some to admit RanilW has done
some good and others to blame him for what happened to Sri Lanka
Three
wheelers say he is good because they
got petrol at a lesser price. They cannot think much and do not seem to
know the price of petrol had fallen in the world market and therefore it is
easy for the RW’s government to give them petrol at a lower price.
Some like
teachers think that RW’s government has increased their basic salary by
Rs.10,000,00, in reality it is only an
allowance not an increase of the basic salary.
They also give credit for RW’s
government for reducing the prices of basic
commodities. But now they do not say
much about it as the prices have again increased.
Some are
happy that RW’s Government has no rogues and are making all attempts to
accuse the Former President; his family
and every body connected to the previous government for theft of all sorts and
taking bribes and commission on development projects. RW with his experience in
Batalanda appointed a police force under him FCID, to investigate thefts
committed by the Former President, his family and all connected to him
politically or otherwise. Ranil W has made Sri Lanka
RanilW has
his own Chief Justice, Judges and Lawyers to judge, those accused and have them arrested and put immediately
in remand Jail, even if the accusations
are so flimsy that there do not seem to have an iota of evidence against those
put in remand. It is a mockery of Justice, but the RW is in power with his UNP
Cabinet of very vociferous Ministers who
know nothing of what they have to do but full of belligerence towards every
thing the Previous government has done.
RW and his
cabinet were not interested in doing any work for the country within the 100
days government but they were all out
looking for thieves and thefts, there
was also JVP handing over files to the
Bribery Commission, all against previous government of the former President Mahinda Rajapakse. They stopped large numbers of on going major development project started by Mahinda
Rajapakse making thousands of persons working in those project unemployed.
But
todate Ranil and his investigators have
not found any evidence whatever to
tarnish the good name of the previous President Mahinda R., his family or those
who were connected to him and investigated for bribery and corruption. RanilW after his experience in Batalanda has
no respect for people or lives.
Otherwise he will not allow persons suspected by his police force to be detained
indefinitely in Remand.
RanilW who pays lot of lip service to Good
Governance appointed Ravi Karunanayake as his Finance Minister for whom a case
was pending in court for money laundering..
“ Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake, quoted earlier in this article,
faces court charges for alleged money laundering a few years ago, violating Sri Lanka U.S.A.
The case
ended in very mysterious circumstances with the Judge, retiring and going
abroad immediately after the case.
In the mean
time RanilW’s government engaged in finding thieves in the previous Rajapakse
regime were themselves preparing for the biggest theft of the century.

)
RW likes to work with foreigners and does not
look for efficient men in Sri
Lanka Singapore
“Even more serious charges of legal
and financial irregularity are involved in the appointment of Arjuna Mahendran as Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka
(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/asoka-bandarage/good-governance-in-sri-lanka_b_7087768.html
)
Lets leave
Hiuffington Post to conclude on good governance of RanilW with his gang of UNP Ministers.
“Human rights,
corruption and other charges against the Mahinda Rajapaksa regime have received
extensive international media coverage. Yet, there is hardly a word about the
massive allegations against the current regime, even the Mahendran affair,
despite their seriousness and international linkages. All governments
everywhere must be held accountable to the same principles of good governance.
There cannot be double standards on voice and accountability, political
stability and absence of violence, government effectiveness, regulatory
quality, rule of law and control of corruption “
Ranil W and his friend
Arjun Mahendran have committed the biggest theft of all times running nearly
to Billion of dollars. The foreign countries have lost
their confidence in Sri
Lanka
“Recently, the government of Singapore refused to accept the Sri
Lankan government's request to obtain a foreign loan of USD 1 .5 billion
through the Singapore stock market on grounds that it cannot honor a Sri Lankan
government document signed by two individuals facing charges of financial
corruption, namely Sri Lanka's Finance Minister
Karunanayake
and Governor of Sri Lanka
Ranil W appointed a Committee to investigate
into the Bond affair and according to its finding exonerated the Governor of
the Central Bank. The Ground View states
with regard to the committee appointed by RanilW,
However, we
noted that the three members appointed, who have legal backgrounds, did not
have any known formal technical qualifications, professional experience or
competencies in economics, banking, finance or central banking to make the
inquiry that was needed. Moreover, we, as well as others, questioned the
credibility of a committee that consisted of individuals who at one time or
another were closely associated with the ruling United National Party.”
This is about the first contender for the office of
Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe , about whom the people have to decide
whether he is suitable to be a Prime Minister of Sri Lanka or not on the 17
August,2015.
Within 180 days
Ranil Wickramasinghe has not only utterly failed to conduct the affairs of the
country well, but has also allowed the worst bank bond theft of the century .
He has failed to dismiss the fraudster, making his culpability in the affair
more evident. He is on the above
evidence against him not suitable to be the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka
Now the Second contender to the office of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse . It is impossible to speak of a unitary Sri Lanka Sri
Lanka and to all its people no one else since the
independence of Sri Lanka
Mahinda Rajapakse blew a breath of life to a people
living in fear of death from bombs and being hacked to death with the heads of
children smashed on trees.
It is that past under terrorism that Mahinda Rajapakse
eliminated that has now given Ranil, Chandrika and all their cohorts the
freedom to speak without fear to even accuse the Mahinda Rajapakse their
saviour as well.
Chandrika
Kumaratunga dare say yesterday at a meeting that Mahinda Rajapakse cannot take credit for himself for the
elimination of terrorism, as Chandrika and the UNP too contributed to it. People have not forgotten the past Chandrik
seems to have forgotten. It was Chandrika having had no idea what to do with
terrorism offered Prabhakaran the North for ten years to rule it as he wants
without any election. Ranil of UNP said
that Toppigala is a rock and that there were no terrorists.
Neither Chandrika nor Ranil did any thing by way of
eliminating terrorism in Sri
Lanka
The elimination of terrorism and ending the thirty
years of terrorism is itself reason enough to bring back Mahinda Rajapakse as
the Prime Minister , to complete the work he had commenced in 2005, by his
cutting short the period of his executive Presidency to go for a Presidential Election on the 8th
January,2015.
Mahinda Rajapakse since his election as the President
had so much to do that no one, beginning from JR Jayawardhana , R.Premadasa,
Chandrika Kumaratunga and Ranil Wicrmasinghe had ever thought of doing. Even
if they had thought what to do they did
not know how to do, and did not know how well to do what they begin to do.
Mahinda Rajapakse when he became the President he knew
what he had to do . It was first to
eliminate terrorism, what ever Chandrika, Ranil or even TNA say now , Mahinda
Rajapakse was determined to complete
what he was beginning to do- the elimination of terrorism what ever be the
difficulties he would have to face.
The world’s greatest violator of Human Rights USA and
its followers, UK, and the rest of the Western world were ready to pounce upon
Mahinda Rajapakse to thwart his determination,
to protect the Sri Lanka terrorist who were not a threat to them. Mahind
Rajapakse’s determination and his
political leadership were greater than the collective western threat.
Whoever now
comes to claim credit for the elimination of terrorists, knows beyond any doubt
that the elimination of terrorism was the determined effort of Mahinda
Rajapakse. That alone is reason
why Mahinda Rajapakse should
remain the leader of Sri Lanka
He did not stop at elimination of terrorists, he built
the country faster, and better than any political leader before him. He built
roads, massive bridges, built power houses with electrical generators, laid
pipeline for water, he built Hotels, Hospitals, schools, harbours, airports,
laid railway lines, brought IT to villages, built boat building yards,
established industrial zones, high security zones, and modernised Sri Lanka
every way in a very short period of time i.e from 2009 to 2014.
Ranil Wickramasinghe and UNP may also say that they
also have mega projects to their credit.
Yes of course under D .S.Senanayake there was the Yoda Ela project and
settlements for Sinhala villages, There was the Laksapana Dam and power houses,
Mahaveli project was the work of Gamini Dissanayake. Or even R.Premadasa’s Gam
Udawa and heritage projects.
But that was the UNP’s past. Even R.Premadasa’s
few progressive projects were marred by his later acts of cruelty
against the JVP uprising where Ranil Wickramasinghe took a prominent role in
setting up torture camps in Batalanda, Matale etc.
UNP under Ranil Wickramasinghe has done nothing
progressive , except setting up a police State with a FCID directly under himWickramasinghe,
Chandrika, Rajitha Senaratne, Mangala Samaraweera, Ravi Karunanayake, Kabir
Hachim, Laksman Kiriella, Ajith Perera,
Harin Fernando, cannot contribute
to Sri Lanka any thing constructive or memorable like those great projects of
Mahinda Rajapakse that pushed Sri Lanka to modernity and to be a middle income
state..
Temple Trees
under Mahinda Rajapakse was a place from
where pervaded cool winds carrying sounds of the sublime teachings of the Compassionate Buddha, as it
should be from the highest abode of the land where a Sinhala Buddhist leader
stretches his rule through out the
country without discrimination against other races or religions.
But today from
Temple Trees under Ranil Wickramasinghe
pervades fires of jealousy,
hatred, anger, revenge as it was from the abode of Kalinga Magah the cruel
invader who set up his kingdom in Rajarata.
Those who are opposed to Mahinda Rajapakse ask why he
failed to do what he now proposes in his election manifesto. It was because he failed to continue his full
period of office of President, and called for an election on the 8th
January, 2015.
We know Mahinda Rajapakse is a man with a
determination to do what many thinks is impossible, and unfortunately the
Sinhala Buddhists failed to unite to vote to bring him back as the President on
the 8th January.
We can trust Mahinda Rajapakse to rebuild Sri Lanka
Mahinda Rajapakse raised the standard of living of the
people ever since he was elected President in 2005. That was also reason for the high cost of
living, which only Mahinda Rajapakse wil be able to bring down by a real people
friendly Budget. He had done what he had
promised before and surely will do what he promises to give the people when he
is back as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka on the 18 August,2015.
Please vote
without hesitation to Mahinda Rajapakse and all those who contest under the
Betel Leaf.
