It appears that this so called
Yahapalanaya government cannot be
removed until 2020, but we can perhaps force it to change by showing its unpopularity
amoung the people, by electing Provincial Council candidates from the Podujana
Peramuna.
Podujana Peramuna represents
the original SLFP of SWRD Bandaranayake. Podujana Peramuna also has the
parliamentarians from the previous Mahinda Rajapakse Government which had
contributed to the development of Sri Lanka
We will go on to see why President Sirisena’ SLFP and Prime
Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe’s UNP are
neither people friendly, nor are they capable of developing the country. But people see how
under their leadership the country is backsliding from where it was before
January,2015, towards being a failed state with no future. The only prospect of
for the country under them is its being territorial broken up, and communally separated.
The JVP which also helped to bring into power the SLFP-UNP joint
yahpalanaya has now become its bitter critic to bluff the people into believing
that they are the best alternative to rule the Provincial Councils, or the Country after the failure of the SLFP and the UNP as rulers.
The JVP politicians who make the biggest rumpus, to
deliver nothing have not won the trust of the ordinary people. JVP had been working incessantly for the continuation
of the disastrous policies of UNP, therefore
the people should not vote for them at the
Provincial Council election.
Now let us see what we the Sri
Lankans have to do today with the Local Government elections in the Agenda ?
Lets us see why we should vote against the Provincial Council
Candidates put forward by the Political Parties which compose Sirisena Ranil Yahapalanaya Government.
Sirisena-Ranil Yahapalanaya
Government has denied for more than two and a half years the democratic right
of the people to have their own elected
representatives to help them in their every day needs at provincial and village
levels. These political parties which make up the
so called Yahapalanaya-SLFP, UNP,
JVP,SLMC,JHU,TNA etc. have no right to present their representatives at provincial and village levels as they
too would only bring about the same
disaster they have brought to the
country at Parliamentary level ?
Do our people at provincial
and village levels really know what Maithripala Sirisena-Ranil Wickramasinghe have done to Sri Lanka since 8th January,2015, or
are they still listening only to the horrors these Yahapalanaya Champions say that
had been done to Sri Lanka
But the peoples of every
community, despite the ranting of their political leaders know that they would not have seen the change Sri Lanka Sri Lanka
President Sirisena keeps
ordering the Armed Forces to vacate the land they occupy in the North and East
and hands them over to the Tamils to facilitate reconciliation, while
Wigneswaran refuses to allow Sinhala refugees to go back to their lands in the
North, and Sumanthiran damands the removal of Buddhism from State protection and write a new Constitution making Sri Lanka a
secular country .
Under these circumstances
where is reconciliation ?
It is evident that
Wigneswaran, Sivajilingam, Sumanthiran and the rest do not want reconciliation. Therefore why should we allow
Sirisena and Ranil to sell in the pretex
of reconciliation, the Sinhala Buddhist
Culture , their religion and all that rightly
belong to them to please the Tamils.
That is why it is imperative
that the people show through their vote at
the Provincial Council Elections, that they do not want the Yahapalanaya Government of Sirisena and
Ranil decide the future of Sri
Lanka
President Sirisena takes every
opportunity to accuse the former President Mahinda Rajapakse for some fraud or another . Sirisena now
makes a big issue of the sale of 10 acres of land to
Sangrilla Hotel shifting the Sri Lanka Army Head Quarters from Colombo Fort
making Colombo unsafe, while he had allowed the
sale of the Hambanthota harbour and thousands of acres of prime land to China
The danger to Colombo
But Sirsena does not seem to
know that when the Army Head Quarters
was removed from Colombo Fort, Mahinda Rajapakse had already started to construct
at Pelawatte using the money received from the sale of the land to
Sangrilla, a Sri Lanka Defence Head Quarters worthy of Sri Lanka
Unfortunately the construction of new Head Quarters for the
Armed Forces was stopped on
Rajitha Seanaratne’s accusation of a financial Fraud. They have still failed to
find evidence of such fraud but the construction work of the Head Quarters at
Pelwatta have come to stop.
Maihripala Sirisena- Ranil Wickramasinghe SLFP UNP joint Government do not speak for Buddhists
or Buddhism as it affects negatively their reconciliation process with the
Tamils. This absurd reconciliation is
the demand of the friends of Yahapalanaya-
USA
Recently the USAmbassador had even said that Sri Lanka
UNP from D.S.Senanayake down to Ranil Wickramasinghe are not supporters
of Buddhism. On this it is worth reading what Janaka Perera had written in an article
to Lankaweb on the 20th December,2017.
“Mettananda noticed that the Prime Minister D.S. Senanayake’s Government
was neither prepared to give Government patronage to Buddhism as in the
pre-colonial days nor was it keen to give to the Buddhists the same rights the
Christians enjoyed in all spheres of society. Had the UNP rulers been
far-sighted enough to enforce at least the latter policy, this country would
have been spared of the many upheavals that followed. It is very unfortunate
that UNP election manifestos failed to focus on the restoration of the rights
of the majority which were trampled en masse by the British Raj.……….Among the many contenders to
shoulder the mantle of Anagarika Dharmapala’s legacy and to continue his work
to restore Buddhism to its due place in Lankan society particularly in the
difficult transitional phase of the country’s history is L.H. Mettananda.He gave
voice to the calls of the Buddhists to re-establish a Buddhist Social Order as
existed in the pre-colonial period, though has not materialized to date due to
the machinations of anti-Buddhist forces and other dubious elements.”
From the beginning the Yahapalanaya
Government of Maithripala Sirisena and Ranil Wickramasinghe had shown that they are only capable of pointing their fingers of accusation at
others. They have at no point of time pointed their accusatory fingers at
themselves, to do an introspection of themselves to see what wrongs they have
done, and where they have gone wrong.
Their obsession of the
President Mahinda Rajapakse , and their determination to take revenge from him
has resulted in Sri Lanka, which was developing into being a modern stated since 2005, become poorer, its economy on the slump, lose its
sovereignty being constantly interfered into by the USA, the West and the UN,
with all development projects neglected , its wealth sold to China and India.
The Air Lanka- the National
Air Line has been neglected and is on
the verge of bankruptcy. The Yahapalanaya
has allowed our Central Bank to be stolen, allowed Sri Lanka loose its
unique identity as a Buddhist Sinhala country, allowed Sri Lanka loose its ancient cultural values, denied the
government servants their pension rights, divided the people, and taken away
peace and protection that was restored in 2009 by Mahinda Rajapakse.
Under this Sirisena -Ranil
Government even our tea has lost its commercial importance , and our tea is for
the first time refused to be purchased
by foreign countries.
