Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga, in a status posted on her facebook account, said some might have been perplexed over the appointment of some cabinet, deputy and state ministers, but there was no other alternative as no party obtained a clear majority to form a single party government.

Yet, she said she would continue to serve the people.

“Just as I have sacrificed my life for the country and people I will do my best to uphold the aspirations of my beloved citizenry,” she said.

She is believed to have played a role in engineering the defeat of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the Presidential Election. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

If the UNP won a majority then will the UPFA crooks be kicked out?

This is a cop out. In 2005 MR did not have enough votes to form a strong govt. He took parties that agreed to SLFP principles. UNP and President has betrayed its voters by taking people who were not for Yahalpalanya.

Please stay away from politics; we still have a clear picture of how you ran the country when you were in power. So madam, please no need to open up the healed wounds, therefore please find some other hobby than politics to spend your time.
