Deputy Minister S.M. Chandrasena has been promoted to the rank of Cabinet Minister by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, one week after he and his brother organised massive demonstrations in Anuaradhapura against the Channel 4 crew in Sri Lanka to the cover the Commonwealth Summit.
Chandrasena was sworn in as Cabinet Minister in charge of Special Projects by President Rajapaksa on Saturday (22).
Chandrasena and his brother S.M. Ranjith were instrumental in stalling the train carrying the Channel 4 crew to Kilinochchi on Wednesday (13 November) at Anuradhapura by bringing their supporters in numbers to the railway station.
Interestingly, Chandrasena lost his Cabinet portfolio in September 2012 after the President announced his brother could not be appointed Chief Minister of the North Central Province since two members of the same family could not hold top posts in the Government. Accordingly Chandrasena resigned his portfolio and his brother S.M Ranjith was appointed North Central Chief Minister.
SM Chandrasena was then appointed Deputy Minister in the spate of new deputy ministerial appointments made by the President in October this year. His Cabinet portfolio has now been restored completely.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa has the largest cabinet of ministers in the world.

Correct Mr. Ben. ‘Smooth sailing all the way’!
Our royal family is sailing so smooth.
although people utter various things no one can match their brains. Hon mahinda a Nalandian and Thurstanite, Mr Gota Basil Dudley Anandians, Mr Chamal a Richmondite are well educated qualified people to represent the royal family.
Some jealous people call them Godayas! Sadly they have that Godaya look and their language skills maybe below par yet they are very intelligent in many other ways.
But smooth sailing all the way!
If they are Godayas how did they turned the entire case with the help of Mr. Sarath N Silva, filed against our king for stealing Tsunami funds by Mr. Kabir Hashim/UNP.
-Smooth sailing all the way!
How the heir apparent passed his law exam with a record got even with Mr Colvin RD Silva. Can Godayas do this?
-Smooth sailing all the way!
When our emperor kicked Madam Shirani Bandaranayake out did anyone open their mouth (JVP and MR Sambandan protested but in vain)? Even Mr Ranil the so called intelligent man kept himself busy explaining about Latimer House and supremacy of the parliament instead of fighting against. that our king’s talent.
-Smooth sailing all the way!

No one can do anything to our king. Why do you think Manmohan didnt come to Srilanka? My personal opinian is our friend Mr. Singh and Ms. Sonia give us their fullest support directly and indirectly. Had Mr. Singh visited he would have been forced to given a speech like the warning of Mr Cameron by the indians so he tactically avoided it.
-Smooth sailing all the way!
We even rounded up Sirikotha twice recently he he he.
Viva our emperor! – Smooth sailing all the way!

What about me Mr.President. Gota and Basil said that I will get a minister post as I was in the protest too. I was at the airport and Anuradapura too. I should get double promotion Mr President.
This is not fair at all.
You should appoint a commmission.
God bless my mother lanka.

Take a look at the other guy who looks village Malabari?
Irathinavalli also looks like Randuna’s daughter or Pema’s Sister Ranee. Are you related to her IrathinaV?

MR, Basil, Namal have obvious Javanese features, I guess they must have Javanese genes. Nothing wrong with it, but I guess we need to teach Siri Lanakan about basics about Genetics and genetic inheritances. This may help them to understand there is nothing called pure Sinhalese race in this island.

Yes, SM Chandrasena from former driver of Berty Premalal Dissanayakato to a MP and then to beat Birty Premalal was appointed as a Minister then demoted to a D/ Minister now after Stopping the Ch 4 going to North promoted as a Minister is real achievement. Another achievement of this man now we must call him a Minister was to take millions of rupees from poor Sinhala Youth to give jobs in Korea with another person should have sent to jail not to the parliament and to promote as a Minister.
Jarapaksa always like. Low level scoundrels like Chandrasena to do his cleaning jobs.
