While lashing out at Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe for presenting a new set of Constitutional reforms on Friday, the Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) said that it would not allow the Prime Minister to hoodwink the people as he used to hoodwink the United National Party (UNP).

JHU General Secretary, Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said that the Prime Minister had inserted new clauses in the Constitutional reforms, which was different from the draft already submitted in the Supreme Court.

He said the intention of these reforms was to create an authoritative Prime Ministerial post with executive powers.

"Mr. Wickremesinghe changed the UNP Constitution in 1995. He is the party leader even today as there is no room for democracy in his party. He may have deceived the UNP but he can’t deceive us. We won’t allow him to deceive the people,” Minister Ranawaka said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

Accepting that new clauses have been included, we have to see whether these are detrimental, if not why is all this shouting about by this lone crusader Champika Ranawaka.It is being said that he dreams of becoming President.Stop this ruckus and get on with the job in hand.

Like the way people got together to expose real character of MR and ousted him from power Ranil and evil forces of UNP should now be exposed and drive them to wilderness. As much as some UNP supporters utter that MS came to power through UNP support, they should realise that Ranil would never have become the PM if not for MS supporters.

Sadly, Champika has become another blind follower of astrology who thinks he has a "Raaja Yogaya" just like his ex-Boss who was taken for an right royal ride by the so called royal astrologers.

THERE IS ONE WORD FOR THIS AND IT IS CALLED "KENDAHELIYA"

Mr. Ranawaka elaborates the truth of the UNP which cannot be done by a member of it.

Champika and Nimal aspiring to become President and Prime Minister. We voted for the Presidental system to be abolished not to clip powers of the President

Many false promises and cheating does not help ploygamy...

dilip Monday, 06 April 2015 04:43 PM

He is looking for short cuts to gain power. What is the Presidents stand on all this. This whole coalition sounds fishy.

appuhamy Monday, 06 April 2015 06:45 PM

Are you ready for a general election Mr Ranawaka ?

Lionel Perera Monday, 06 April 2015 06:21 PM

It took so long for JHU to understand UNP plans. You kicked MR and got into a hot pan

Sri Lankan Monday, 06 April 2015 05:25 PM

Mr Ranawaka should resign from his cabinet post immidiately and take his polictical batte to the streets. And then face the general election.

Truth Monday, 06 April 2015 05:15 PM

Champika needs to realize that if not for the UNP mechanism, MS would not have come to power defeating MR. The only viable option is to respect each other, not to challenge anyone.

Lokka Monday, 06 April 2015 05:09 PM

He seems scared to face a general election where his real electoral strength will be exposed.

saman Monday, 06 April 2015 05:02 PM
