Big deal! That gives the UNP and the JVP a white van load of ammunition, nice!

Just a distraction. They won't reveal the real candidate's identity so early in the race

Another different choice for knowledgeable voter to decide.

Now the Baiyas of South will be confused when GOTLER has the first meeting in Kandy.

This is a real stunt to frighten the Courts - distract the SB Voters from his affairs there, jointly done by the Family.

Karanangoda's comment about Gota giving the final orders gives ample evidence of the mastermind behind Ekneliyagoda,Thajudeen,Keith Noyer etc etc Forget about presi dential electiond get ready to go the gallows for these murders,Justice must be done

A joint family SAGA. Better to bring all the grand children as well. Also better to organize a car race around Maligawa after the show.

S K Muthukumara Monday, 04 March 2019 05:43 PM

With all these court cases and other allegations, he is going to create (world) history by coming for presidency as an outsider. Are those who going behind Rajapakses are so bankrupt?

Citizen Monday, 04 March 2019 06:35 PM

Heil Gotler! Beware Lanka!

Ranjith Tuesday, 05 March 2019 03:15 PM

How much importance we give for human rights? Is it important for our leader to be a person who upholds the human rights values? If it is important for us, how we going to elect him as the president of our country? What assurance we have that he won't bring back his dark days?
