Carrying gifts to curry favour

Some Diyawanna members, aspiring to receive a kick upstairs in the reshuffle said to be round the corner, are reportedly visiting the residence of a business tycoon in Wayamba carrying gift parcels these days.

A niece of a very high political authority is married to the son of this business tycoon.

A story doing rounds in political circles says that a certain politico got a high office quite recently thanks to the influence of this business tycoon. And many politicos are now engaged in a scramble to get into his good books in a bid to fulfil their political ambitions through his influence.
