The Sinhala nationalist party Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU), which is also a member of the UPFA coalition government has stated they are yet to make a decision on qutting the government. They have however ruled out the likelihood of collaborating with the movement for a common opposition.
Champika
JHU Western Provincial Councillor Udaya Gammanpila speaking at a media briefing today has stated that they have not had any discussions with any of the opposition parties but had assured that they have ruled out any moves to join the common opposition movement.
“We have several options to choose if our discussions with the government fails – one is to field a presidential candidate from the JHU itself,” he had added.
He had also stated that they see no point in continuing to be part of the government if the Mahinda Chinthana is not promptly implemented and had added they are awaiting for a response to the proposals that were forwarded by them following the general meeting of the party held a few weeks ago.
Meanwhile, JHU member and technology minister Patali Champika Ranawaka had called for the preservation of judicial independence and had stressed on the importance of appointing qualified officials when appointing judges to the Supreme Court and High Court.
He had also stated that discussions with the government over their proposals are due to end soon, with a decisive meeting scheduled for tomorrow and had stated that if the proposals are not agreed upon they would be compelled to take an independent decision.

Patali will make an excellent President. He is Sri Lanka’s Modi.

He will be an excellent Modayos’ President.
The trouble is that he could only get 500,000 votes to the maxm so don’t be so enthusiastic. Idiotic people of this country already given a few lunatics a 20 years rule. that’s enough.
So glad about the split with Mara insane-pissu regime.
Modayos’ rule is almost over. Pfuhh…what a relief!

I can listen to Patali but I hate Gommanpila:
I know many among the lankens do so. Gommanpilla is making every effort to make believe black to white. DID you guys get it at the time, Gotabaya staged with him for Gommanpilas campaign and how UG argued ?
These men are the IBOLA to srilanken future.

“JHU Yet To Make A Decision On Quitting Govt”
When will JHU make a decision on quitting my ancestral island?
Paadala believes Sinhalese invented Zero. Bhaskarachārya (Bijapur district, Karnataka state, South India) must be a distant relative of Paadaala and Sinhalese.

I think it is high time to bring – SRILANKEN logo to the scence regardless of us being sinhalese, tamils, muslims, burgher or anything other miniorities.. we are one srilanken nation… that will then help every citizen to feel fine. This can only be done by a common leader who is honest… Rajapakshes are far from all norms that will bring nothing but disharmonies together.
If a persno feels that a hang man can do the job of a politcian- there we went wrong… fully.
Here Hang man is Rajapakshe while all others are the politicians. His elieminated any kind of ones going against him, sofar.. even eleminating today even according to his hidden agendas…. but that is his typical way of going on with country men and women. Women are attacked as no times in the past, men are attacked if just being against ot his men… RAJAPKSHE is a BOLYWOOD or HOLLYWOOD ACTOR.. real face of colours of the man is still to be revealed…

Vibhushana,
I agree. He has a few strong qualities. He is pretty good leadership material.
Unfortunately, guy happens to be a die-hard ethno-religious extremist & racist too.
That is a pretty strong drawback in the 21st century, multi-cultural, multi-religious, modern Sri Lanka. If one aspires to be President.
If Champuka can be an excellent President with his baggage of race & religion based ideology, so can other racists such as Hakeem of SLMC or Suresh Premachandra of TNA be Presidents as well.
Cheers!

“He has a few strong qualities. He is pretty good leadership material.”
Have you seen any Benchmarking exercise on his core competencies? I love to read it.
He was then in charge of Power. What was his tract record?
I find him everywhere,
Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP)
Jathika Chinthana
Janatha Mithro (People’s friends)
Sinhala Urumaya
Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU)
Cabinet Minister of Environment and Natural Resources,minister of Power and Energy, minister of Technology, Research and Atomic Energy.
A delusional opportunist born a racist, never been a visionary, will make a the division of country imminent, he believes in his own version of perverted history, confirmed hypocrite, …………..

Minister of Power and Energy… was he able to fix the power cuts or sudden power drops or any answer for the increasing light bills?
He was just talk.. it seems that female Pavithra is doing a better job than this so called Engineering type.

I do not believe most of you are thinking outside the box. Any racist when appointed to a national position he/she adopts a tolerant posture. Modi is a perfect example.
What is missing in politics today is honesty and integrity. This is where Patali can deliver.
If he does not get the required number of votes, he will at least split Mahinda Rajapaske’s vote so Ranil can win.
So you win either way.

He just heard this voice from a PR firm, enabling him/her/it for a course correction, a rope for him to stop digging and getting out of his own pit.
He/she/it may be a honest living creature with integrity intact. He can’t help hearing voices which control his head and fingers.

Champika Ranawaka related to honesty and integrity…What a joke.. This is the height of foolishness. Fools doesn’t know that they are fools.. this goes to both Champaka and the commenter.. This is dangerous, because egoistic Champika believes what he was told by his foolish elders are true.. and this commenter believes everything Champika, the elder says…
Shyamon Jayasinghe did a very nice article in CT about the Champika’s public speech to Sinhalese in France..

My foot, this man for President? seriously folks ?
This is another Drama queen and lets see with skeletons in their cupboards, these guys will no go away from MARA as they know with a corrupt judiciary they all will end up at the Welikada hostel sooner or later.
All this is Drama and BBS and these guys are 2 sides of the same coin.

Mr PAtali you want to protect your perks getting as a minister to continue to stay with this rogue regime. By been a coalition with UPFA youare rogue, murderer rapist etc. You only want to achieve your shelfish ambitions. You dont care about the country. Country can go to hell. Enough damge is done to the country by rajavaswsas for coalition to dismantle.

These JHU racists will never leave Mara. Already Mara has levelled corruption allegations against them and that has seriously damaged their whiter than white façade they projected to the electorate.
Of the two parties that could gain power Mara has the party that has the will and the intention to carry out the racist agenda of the JHU. Leaving Mara will put an end to their Sinhala Buddhist ethnoreligious supremacist intentions for the country. So, I say that the JHU despite their rhetoric will stick with Mara and possibly do down with him if Mara loses.

ramona therese fernando / November 14, 2014
Why is everybody talking about Champika? Gammanpila is the far better candidate. However, if Rajapksa actually listens to JHU and implements Mahinda Chinthana the honorable way, then he’s ok. JHU will save the nation…..a bit of SB nationalism can be tolerated. Gammanpila cited equality of all Lankan races…..after all everyone in Sri Lanka is mostly Sinhalese or for most part, Sinhalese. Sinhalese are Sinhalese, Tamils are actually Sinhalese, Muslims are mostly Sinhalese, and so are Burghers. We are all Lankans and must honor the blueprint Sinhala Buddhist culture and heritage.
