What was different about Kirulapone May Day Rally.

What has Maithripala Sirisena done to deserve a large crowd at his May Day rally ?

Only thing he has done is to allow Ranil Wckramasinghe and Chandrika Kumaratunga to sell Sri Lanka to India and the west within the shortest time he accidentally became the President of Sri Lanka. In helping the Ranil Chandrika duo to sell the country to India and  West, he also helps to divide the country between the Tamils , and the Muslims and place the Sinhala in the third place.

The Sri Lankans have no reason to gather round Maithripala Sirisena, as he has done nothing even remotely  comparable to hundreds of things the former President Mahinda Rajapakse has done to Sri Lanka within five years after elimination of terrorism.   Maithripala Sirisena  cannot now or a life time after compare himself even to the shadow of Mahinda Rajapakse.

Maithripala Sirisena  and those who got the priviledge of holding Ministries in  the UNP Government,   which they would have never been able to get if Maithripala Sirisena was not made the cats paw of the UNP  to form a Yahapalanaya Government, vie against each other  to assert that the largest crowd at the May Day Rally was in Galle. 

There was a good crowd in Galle thanks to the free blue shirts, lunch and free ride to Galle not to mention any other discretely provided  incentives.  Yes Galle May Day was a large Blue Crowd.  In  Campbell Place the ground was gone Green.  But UNP unlike Maithripala Sirisena’s SLFP, has not come forward still to blast horns about Campbell Place rally to have been the largest. But both rallies the Blue Rally at Galle and the Green Rally at Campbell Place were both artificial, and insignificant to the May Day Rally at Kirulapone.  The people attended to fill the grounds for a May day which they did not care much about, because neither that UNP nor that SLFP has given the people what they want.

There was however a difference in the Kirulapone May Day Rally.  There was a sea of ordinary people.  They had not come in uniforms of any colour , but wearing their own clothes. 

The crowd of people who gathered at Kirulapone had not received uniforms to attend the Kirulapone May Day Rally, like  the blue uniforms  at the Galle May Day Rally or the Green uniforms to attend the May Day Rally at Campbell Place.

The mass of ordinary people  at the Kirulapone May Day Rally came in great numbers not  because it was the workers day, but they gathered to be with their beloved leader- the   President Mahinda Rajapakse.  It was an occasion for them once again to tell the Yahapalanaya government that they have rejected  Ranil’s UNP and Maithripala’s SLFP. They said not vocally but by personal attendance at the May Day Rally that they will always be with their dear President Mahinda Rajapakse.

Therefore, please take note that the real people of this country gathered in great numbers at Kirulapone.  And of those uniformed crowds at Galle half of them may have come for the fun of it,   and most of them may have been those who voted for a change and  are  now utterly disappointed  with the Yahapalanaya, and   regret  not having voted for Mahinda Rajapakse at the Presidential election. It was a case of  beating the drum they tied around them ( බැඳගත්ත බෙරේ ගහනවා).

Intelligent people who can think, may  understand what a mistake they made in casting their  vote for a change, and to have  someone different to replace (at least for some time to come) an  irreplaceable-leader  of the calibre of the former President Mahinda Rajapakse. It is Sri Lanka that lost in that foolishness,  a  great leader who  Sri Lanka was fortunate to have for the first time after Independence. 

Sri Lanka Under President Mahinda Rajapakse was a vast construction sight. Every were there was work going on to construct new roads, carpet new roads or lay concrete on pathways.  New projects were being started, the old finished and declared opened. There were buildings  for schools, IT Centres, hospitals, recreation grounds, markets, shopping arcades. There were Military Camps that assured the security of the country and the people.

But what has Maithripala Sirisena the people elected for a change by  mistake given to the people? 

Maithripala Sirisena, Ranil Wickramasinghe and Chandrika Kumaratunga have together given the people a police state. In their Sri Lanka,  Police , FCID, Presidential Investigation Commission, Bribery Commission, and a brand new Minister Sarath Fonseka specially appointed to throw mud at President Mahinda Rajapakse and his family .

Sarath Fonseka is like a robot which starts talking at the command of the Prime Minister.  He is a military man( the worst type) and his words are rough, dirty, uncouth, venomous, and stink.

Maithripala Sirisena has given to the people a Prime Minister as cruel as he is, who has shown utter immaturity in proposing projects to Sri Lanka which may only sell it to India and the West making Sri Lanka a colony of the West and India.  Sirisena has become the “ poodle” of the West dressing him in a prestige he lacks, and inviting him to places he would be like a “square peg in a round hole”.

What is Sirisena’s use and importance at G7 meeting ? 

It was yesterday that the Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake said of the “friendly west pampering Sirisena”, that “….. I am being brutally frank but there is no point saying we are with the world if they are not helping us….”

All these insincere praise extended to Maithripala  Sirisena by the USA and the West is to make him  happy and keep Sri Lanka in the Western Circle, leaving the strategic position of Sri Lanka for their use and benefit. West will not a give a “dime” to help Sri Lanka.

The great leader President Mahinda Rajapakse’s smiling face was every where  during his time as President, making people proud of what he had given to them, peace and desire to live in a modern country without fear of terrorism.  There was a considerable developed standard of living.  The whole country from North to South and East to West benefitted from his generosity , his visionary concepts for a developed Sri Lanka remain extraordinary.

It was those grateful people who rallied in innumerable numbers at Kirulapone to see Mahinda Rajapakse their beloved leader and offer him their gratitude by being present at his call.
