Just days since a declaration by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa that he will return to rule the country, several members of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) are scheduled to meet on Monday for a crucial discussion. The meeting also comes in the wake of a statement by the United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) General Secretary Mahinda Amaraweera who has declared that toppling the coalition government by anyone is nothing but a dream. He made this statement this week while addressing an event in Kalpitiya.
Amaraweera, who is also the Minister of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development said, “It is nothing but a dream of some who says they will topple the government in 2017.” He added that all the parties in the government were committed to continue the vision and ensure the government remains in power till the next general election in 2020.
Despite Amaraweera’s statement, several senior members of the SLFP including ministers are set to meet next week, for what is described as a ‘crucial meeting to discuss the current political situation in the country and the situation within the government.’
The meeting also comes amidst claims by the Joint Opposition that several SLFPers will join their group in the coming weeks.
These developments come just days since Rajapaksa vowed to topple the Yahapalanaya Government in 2017 and reclaim power. Speaking to foreign journalists, Rajapaksa said that there will be a ‘change’ in the future, and even though he is not looking to become President, he hinted at the possibility of becoming Prime Minister.
Incidentally, Amaraweera, a former ally of Mahinda Rajapaksa was also the deal broker between Maithripala Sirisena and Mahinda Rajapaksa, following the latter’s defeat at the 2015 Presidential Election, resulting in Sirisena being able to take on the reins of the SLFP leadership from Rajapaksa. This was revealed in a book authored by SLFP parliamentarian Malith Jayathilake, titled “The January 8th Revolution: As I Have Seen It”, which contained inside information on the ‘Change’ which overthrew Rajapaksa from the Presidency.

Is MR planning a Sri Jayawardenepura putsch in the new year as Basil was seen meeting top Army Men about six months ago?
Gota is craving for absolute power in fact, he is still suffering from withdrawal /discontinuation syndrome.
Maybe he thinks there is too much democracy, too much freedom, too little fear, people say what they think, ………… not many people are being white vanned, what a rotten country, unacceptable in this island, …..

RE:Maithri – Mahinda Deal Broker Says No One Can Topple Yahapalanaya Government
Never give up the struggle for good governance..!
Wish All a Happy New Year., one more orbit around the Sun, sitting on the third rock from the Sun.
“Is MR planning a Sri Jayawardenepura putsch in the new year as Basil was seen meeting top Army Men about six months ago? “
How real is that? Can they pull it through?
In Turkey, they tried but failed, because the President was popular and the people were behind him and supported the Govt.
With Hitlers putsch, the people were not behind, not even the police, but thee was widespread discontent with the Weimar Republic.
The Sirisena-Ranil Republic was elected by popular vote, with a thin margin, only 2 years ago. Have they degraded the Yahapalanaya sufficiently to bring about a Malinda-Basil -Gota-Army putsch?
Will the people take to the streets in such an event? Why?
To protect the Turncoat, Traitor, Gona and Mala-Peretahya, aka Sirisena, who seems to have already taken part in sharing the stolen billions from Mahinda and cronies?
What is the game Sirisena and Ranil playing, with Wijedasa Rajapaksa in the middle as the Deal-Dasa?

What is behind the game played by Mahinda Rajapaksa, Sirisena, FCID, dismissal of Ms. Wickramasinghe, the Transfer of DIG in Charge of FCID, all are inter-relared.
Is Sirisena a Turncoat, Traitor, Gona, and Mala-Perethaya to the 6.2 million who voted for him for Yahapalanaya?

We want to get those billions back. Instead what we did -is not even something not bigger to a mustard seed in terms of getting them convicted. Why you and we all let us provked by the same abusive men this way.

Only difference is happening he’s nailing his coffin tighter and tighter.
Poor man is in euphoria following consuming Viagra.
He’s suffering with delusions of grandeur!! When will he learn??
He thinks the masses are modaya like him still. He does not accept that he was voted OFF twice in a year.
Will some one give him some good advise?? Mahanayake ( suckers) honest ones who believes in Lord Buddhas followings??
The ones from his JJOP ( Joint jokers oppositions ) are just like him trying to protect themselves and their families just like their Moda leader, the good for nothing Singhala expats who chose to live or taken Asylum by hook or by crook in foreign lands ( some within the last 50 years ) too are trying to rekindle his PIPE DREAMS.
THEY ALL WILL GET A MASSIVE SHOCK THAT YAHAPALANAYA IS HERE TO STAY TO SHAPE THE COUNTRY FOR ALL NATIONALITY TO LIVE PEACEFULLY ( if YP keep up the promises to the masses as promised in Jan 2015)
For many more years.
This man and his rogues will keep on trying and trying until they die one by one.
Get the hell out of our lives ! We don’t need your advises , we don’t need you with your self centred idealism.

Native & Amarasiri,
I think we should now admit the inevitable. January 8th revolution is being squandered at record speed, if not dead.
Basil Raja is running around the country under cover of darkness. Deal-making, back-stabbing Yahapalanaya monkeys have no backbone nor the enthusiasm to incacerate one of the biggest political criminals in Aisa, in living memory. Namely Basil Raja. If that is so, you can forget the rest.
Rumour is that Basil Raja has already bagged Rishard B. Who is running for cover after being caught with his pants firmly down more than once. By Sri Lanka’s vibrant civil society for courruption, unforgivable environmental criminality, undercover, Qatar propelled Islamism etc.
Yep, opportunistic, sex maniac & fake buddhist Champuka may end up under Basil’s wing one sunny day in the near future. Gota may give “We know it all” Ranil’s Royal College cabal a run for their money in 2020.
At which point, SL will be back to square one. Now is the time to get organized and establish other alternatives.
Please publish your options!
Cheers!

Two years have gone bye without real results and could be mainly attributed to the structure of the govt. The two party govt have two conflicting objectives from within. One trying to protect the abuse and corruption of the previous govt while the other trying to bring it to light and seek justice. It will be a blessing in disguise if the group of SLFP MP’s including the Justice minister resigns. It is always easy to deal with saboteurs in the open.
The govt wont fall if the President doesn’t dissolve parliament and the minority parties support to defeat a no confidence motion.
Hope in 2017 the President and PM will take the issues head on.

Sirisena needs to think about the joint promises given in his presidential election and the general election. He was elected primarily bases on UNP votes and the minority. He shouldn’t safeguard SLFP, clean up the country and bring crooks to the full extent of law. Also he has no intention to contest again do the right think and become a yahapalana ICON.

Insert fake news aimed at discrediting key ministers. Bribing goes on full tilt to anyone who wants to join this despicable cabal of nasty no nothing jackasses. There is no way these morons can ever come back into power. The only reason they keep getting these delusions is the utter corruption their hero embedded within every single government institution as well as the private media. It is high time the ring leaders were arrested and jailed once and for all. Appoint a special prosecutor and a new court with impeccable judges for trials by bar and get on with it. The public don’t give a hoot for these scoundrels with grand delusions. Also, all provincial councils should be either abolished or disbanded. These are the last remnants of mostly corruptly elected goon squads still remaining in power licking the derrier of their former leader and engaged in sabotage.

Mahinda Rajapakshe is promised the prime Minister’s post and he will select his government Ministers and then go for a referendum to become executive Prime Minister.

The way old friends do
Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh, I don’t care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do
We can face it together
The way old friends do
