United National Party (UNP) MP Ravi Karunanayake said yesterday whatever the President or the Prime Minister said during this election period should not be taken seriously.

He said that was a matter to be considered after the election.

“What is said by the President or the Prime Minister during election time should not be taken seriously. We will have to consider these matters in the future,” he told journalists during an election campaign at Bloemendhal.

He said this in response to a question about the Marapana Committee recommendations about assistant leadership of the UNP. (Ajith Siriwardana)

Sincere Thursday, 01 February 2018 09:29 PM

In other words "Election time is a time of fun n jokes". Isn't that what he means?

Ozman Thursday, 01 February 2018 09:58 PM

This one is true ...what he says what the President and PM says should not be taken serious. Basically he says they cannot be trusted .

Jagath Leanage Thursday, 01 February 2018 10:08 PM

Jumped out of the gun . Exactly . We should not believe what these unpers say hereafter .

hans perlee Thursday, 01 February 2018 10:09 PM

I never take a politician serious.

Mary Anne Perera Thursday, 01 February 2018 10:17 PM

Definitely what is said at election time should NEVER NEVER be taken seriously or believed......

Dave Friday, 02 February 2018 08:49 AM

So as to ravi..all promises about development made by the UNP should not be taken seriously. So voting for the UNP didn is a wasted vote.

woter Friday, 02 February 2018 09:09 AM

All involved are the manufactures of managed perceptions.

Aku Friday, 02 February 2018 09:17 AM

Ravi, this is seriously crazy crap!!! We all knew that Politicians were crazy liars, especially during election time, and here you go confirming this??? Can all you Bastards please stop lying for a change????

manju Saturday, 03 February 2018 10:24 AM

Aku, you have hit the nail on the head.

Deen Friday, 02 February 2018 09:22 AM

Is he the only politician who made a statement of this nature. Presidents Prime Ministers Ministers are aware that we Sri Lankans simply forget every thing after every election. "Chande Kale kiyapu ewa ganan ganna epa" this is what they will say if you quarry.

Yeti Friday, 02 February 2018 09:33 AM

Seriously??????

Marie Friday, 02 February 2018 09:49 AM

Please shut up. You have done enough damage already.

Nadraj Friday, 02 February 2018 10:00 AM

Great. At least now he is telling the truth.

Sambo Friday, 02 February 2018 01:31 PM

You think the people are going to vote for you even after some years. You must joking. How stupid do you think we are?

Hiran Shanaka Friday, 02 February 2018 02:02 PM

You cheated before, when UNP was in power last time. Now, you cheated again. It seems, you think you can always get away by cheating! Sorry sir, this time you have no way out!

WORDSWORTH. Friday, 02 February 2018 06:18 PM

IT MEANS PEOPLE MUSN T TRUST POLITICIANS WORDS. A POLITICIAN FORGETS WHAT HE SAID ON THE STAGE ONCE HE GETS DOWN FROM STAGE. via DM Android App

Mason Friday, 02 February 2018 07:55 PM

What the President and PM say during election time are not to be taken seriously, why say it at all. Is is to MISLEASD the people and/or to entertain, in which case advise them to SING SONGS instead !!
