Colombo Telegraph reliably learns that SLPP front-liners Mahindananda Aluthgamage and Wimal Weerawansa, threatened by the potential heights Namal Rajapaksa might rise to, if Gotabaya Rajapaksa is elected into Presidency, have launched a systematic mudslinging campaign against the young politico.
It seems the duo is hoping for a drop in popularity within the party and to move him out of Gota’s good books, so that in a situation where Gota won the upcoming election, they would be able to outdo Namal.
Aluthgamage and Weerawansa have been criticising Namal, claiming he is trying to be on par with Gota and is trying to influence his father and uncle, into controlling the actions of the party and to call the shots.
Colombo Telegraph also hears that the jealous duo have been saying that Namal is immature and would not make it as a party leader. They have also accused him of pitting SLPP members against each other.
It appears this rumour mongering has now escalated to the level of a family rift among the Rajapaksa brothers.
“This competition to score points in Gota’s eyes is also why Mahindananda – Weerawansa duo along with businessman and deal maker Tiran Alles, flew to Singapore recently. It seems they wished to outdo Namal who was staying by his uncle who underwent heart surgery, and mark their presence in the eyes of their master,” a Rajapaksa family source told Colombo Telegraph.
The source said “Poor Weeransansa – Aluthgamage duo has forgotten that Namal can still outdo them; he is Mahinda’s son and Gota’s nephew. After all, blood is thicker than water, they say.”

Who cares. Low lives vs low lives. No one can salvage. Only thing they can ruin some more. Weeramonkey is one of the most low lives in Lanka, a worthless evil.

Yes. Wimal Buruwamsa of 2/2 = 0, fame also seem not to know that blood is thicker than water.
On the other hand, 300,000 Paras voted for him during the 2015 general election.
Can’t the Paras elect some other Para besides the Rajapaksas, Sirisenas and Ranil?

I have serious reservations on this news. I don’t think that Mahindananda is stupid enough to clash with NaRa and thereby to lose all kinds of goodies he could make if come to power. WW is different story but will he try to crash his head onto a concrete wall? May be not! Right now, their only target is winning. Clashes usually show up once the stomach is full or if the hunt is not big enough for all!

Aluthgamage And Weerawansa In Competition looking at different angle they want to compare the blood group even if he is Mahinda’s son and Gota’s nephew the blood group don’t match, But others can match the B Group

I am sorry but this is an all too transparent ruse. The Rajapakses are well known for their nepotism. They will always place a family member above anyone else. Even if they are far more qualified for the post. Why else is Prof. G. L. Pieris required to stand when the legal nonentity Namal Rajapakse enters the room?

Blood is certainly more thicker in dirty politics.

Of course.

If it comes to power Rajapakse is very cruel and do anything to keep the power and that he is safe and his family is safe. He knows well that most of his supporters including GL Peries, Vasudeva, Vitharane and other allies do not like and none of the minority groups will not support Gotapaya. Rajapakse may allow Gota to contest and loose and Namal can wait until he qualifies for power in few years time.

I think we should leave these low lives to do their usual arse licking. After all weerawansa naipaniki and that Aluthgamage shmeless scum are good in eating shit and smearing shit and slinging mud at people.
Do they have dignity or self respect? ?
Let them excel in their profession.
Its a pity that these kinds of maggots still appeal to some of our stupid and dull masses.
Mahinda’s downfall was partly due to the kind of scum who were associated with him, the likes of mervin, wimal, Aluthgamage, that drug dealer…now in death row etc.
Let them sort themselves out.

Dingiri, do you really think that GL means something. He is one of the most stupid fellows mother Lanka has produced. He is just a theoretical idiot without any practical knowledge. He is educated but not intelligent. He has now become a really low grade clown and he just go behind MR family like a puppy. Should this fool need a life like this. He is a disgrace. I will prefer Mervin Silva to this top class joker. Mervin at least has the guts.

Look at that picture again and again and try to identify that man in “Purple” shirt and black pants. In my identification he is none other than “Sri Ranga” one time MP. He now sits in “Satana” TV programme, naming himself as a “Journalist” to question all those politicians who are “Invited” to discuss county’s situation. Just see how these “Vagabonds” roam around in the “Public Arena” presenting themselves as “SAINTS”. So with all others in that picture. The irony is, all these well known and proven “Rogues” are “Invited” to talk shows as :VIPs” without an iota of shame by these “Media” outlets. How do the “PEOPLE” rate these “Media” outlets? What do the “PEOPLE” learn from the opinions expressed by these “VIPs” and the self proclaimed “Journalists”? This is yet another aspect of this “Political Battle” that the VOTERS have to OBSERVE and LEARN and that would definitely enable them to make “CORRECT CHOICES”. Please don’t be DECEIVED or ALLOWED to be deceived this time.

Weerawnsha is not educated. So, only thing he can relate to is, waravadaya. Aluthgamage’s father was rich. So, he can escape. Besides, Ranil did not prosecute anyone. Because every one of 225 has lot of secrets in their closets

CT reports that SLPP front-liners Mahindananda Aluthgamage and Wimal Weerawansa feel {“…threatened by the potential heights Namal Rajapaksa might rise to, if Gotabaya Rajapaksa is elected into Presidency…}
Note the big big “if” in front of GR.
CT: Are Mahindannda and Wimal really SLPP front runners?
.
To score points in Gota’s eyes, Mahindananda – Weerawansa duo along with businessman and deal maker Tiran Alles, flew to Singapore recently…..{“….It seems they wished to outdo Namal who was staying by his uncle who underwent heart surgery…”}
Recently we found out when Health Minister Rohita Senaratne underwent by-pass surgery in Singapore, what his entourage did!
PS: What happened to the mowing down of a traffic policeman with Mahindananda’s SUV monster?
PPS: And Wimal’s far too many diplomatic passports.

Oh Boy, Galleon Ravil’s Wrecker Ball attack on Keselwatta Kid must be the Demolition of the Century..
–
Poor Kid ,
TIt is his ardent backers who are running for cover now more than the Kid.
Among them are a Heavy UNP Minister and Enforcer from the UVA Province and several others also in the UNP Heavy Weight Class.
I do not know the names, But I wonder whether Uncle Karu is among them….
–
This is after Galleon told his Loyal Colombo West side Yahapalana suckers that the UNP is not in the business of making Presidents out of 9th Graders.
–
This has really drowned the ground swell for Keselwatta Kid, after the Jihadhi Suicide Attack on Easter , and when Dr Ranil gave refuge to his 30% Muslim Faction in his Cabinet.
–
Poor Kid. I know Magamapura Dudes couldn’t careless about his OL Passes list as long as they got their Samurdhi Sheet.
But the Elite in the Colombo West will be proud that they have erased Preme Clan totally from their Turf..

You all are ass licking people of Mahinda Rajapaksha and his family.
Everyone knows that how you were treated by Namal.
You must be ashamed of yourself.
You all are selling Mahinda Rajapaksha name to come to power .
You are crooks.

MS says PSC was hatched in PM,S house, when he himself hatched and left to Singapore. Wimal is now upset that Dr.Shafi will be released soon because of lack of evidence. So gutter mouth Wimal is now trying to exploit it. Wimal wants the courts to believe in his stupid sterilization stories and keep Shafi, illegally remanded. Poor retard dosent realize he and others can make changes in Buddhism as they wish , but not in Medical Science. What an idiot. Wimal also was trying to give excuses for Thera who wanted to stone Shafi when Thera him self was not bothered in giving an explanation. In the mean time ten more people including two Sinhalese have filed cases against next presidential candidate Gotha in US. This is called Lankan Politics.

aluth and booru have to kiss namal’s arse .It is not a question of will they but when.The SLPP is a rajapakshe party.Why they broke away from SLFP is to differentiate themselves from the bandaranayaka’s who founded and built up the SLFP.So sooner the duo kiss arse the better.

Read the details here of (alleged) torture during Gota’s “reign” & decide if he should really be given such power again.
And this is only what “survivors” allegedly went thru. What of those who didn’t live to tell the tale? Open your eyes & consciences you who intend to vote for him.

This is going to be an endless nightmare for Gota and agony for the victims or their kith and kin.
–
Immediately after the end of the war had these smart war winning heroes and the clan founded a Truth and Reconciliation Commission Gota and his victims could have avoided all these uncertainties. The problem is we are too proud Tamils/Sinhalese/Muslims, we do not make mistakes, therefore we do not have to own up mistakes, apologise, beg for pardon, …………………..
–
It appears the next generation children and youth … will relentlessly pursue this case for another 50 years.
–
It is not just the clan trying to be too smart with War Crimes and crimes against humanity, Hopper Sirisena as well as Ranil too are trying to be too smart.

There are many ways of becoming popular politically. One is pending money Second is moving with rural masses and winning the confidence provided there is no criminal record The other way is by spitting communal talks and lying. I am sure Weerwans is trying to become popular by the third method. The is connected in the pending cases that is the end of his political career I would suggest him to start acting as Villan in Singhal and earn money and become popular He will be a Nambiar of Singhal cinema

Wimal is already popular not by any efforts but by his unwavering patriotism. Therefore, there is no need for him to follow “any methods” to be popular.
If there is any politician who never change his principles towards the country, it is only Wimal.

Who cares? What a lame news item.
Wimal Weerawansa is a principled politician who has a colourful political history where he constantly fought for the country since 2000.
Even today, he is speaking at seminars to make people aware of traitorous American agreements that are to be signed. He was the first to raise this serious matter in Parliament. Thanks to Wimal, people came to know about it.
He has mobilized the masses against the slave government since January 2015 and people have placed full faith in him.
Namal can’t hold a candle to Wimal.
