Playing it very cool. First get his man elected as the Chairman with opposition support and now this blow to the Divineguma Bill by taking leave. Podi tricks, indeed!

Take leave for ever. It make no difference to Sri Lanka. This also applies to the people above you.

People are more happy and the country will flourish better without politicians who are really a burden and liability.

He must have been busy securing his own land from the "Divineguma Threat"!

This is power crisis. Same will apply to all those in power for a longer period. That shows whether they are really serving the masses or themselves!!!
