Give me Rs.100 – Udaya Gammanpila

Ex- Western Provincial Council Minister and JHU legal adviser Udaya Gammanpila today requested the public to give him Rs 100 each for his election campaign as he is unable to afford the campaign this time.

“I do not have a vehicle of my own and I have never been corrupt. Anybody can check any personal details or bank accounts of mine. Politicians become corrupt when they start earning for their next election campaign or when they let their supporters to earn on behalf of them” said the JHU strongman adding that he stands for good governance and if anyone has faith in him could offer Rs. 100 for his campaign as he does not have any means to run for office this time.

Addressing a media briefing today he said “I have faith in me that I can do justice to people if I am re-elected as I do not mortgage principles for money but I do not have big money to enter a competition with the money spinners as I have never earned money through unfair means’.

‘If I take money from big businessman I will be under obligation to help them after the polls so I kindly request the public to help me in this campaign” he earnestly requested.

This is why we need to scrap & abolish indian sponsored provincial system, wasteful white elephant fox JRJ forced on us to make people bleed to death after being scared of indian parippu drop. Only UNP should come forward & admit this crime they committed & demand govt to stop it & support them to do it, irrespective of what tamil & muslim extremists have to say. it has not benefited this country in way, produced more & more corrupt criminals labelled as politicians

Somadasa Friday, 31 January 2014 04:29 AM

Rs. 100 into 1 million JHU supporters, Its a better idea than finding money by other means?

Ravi Sam Friday, 31 January 2014 04:28 AM

Udaya, appreciate your new effort.

Guys like you should promote "Matha Desapalanaya" Opinion Politics and reject other cheap politics.

Good you are trying to be an example in this 21st Century.

All leaders resort to something new to bring the people out of the shell.

Typical hora katha. Then who were the chaps that were entertained in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia by CEB suppliers after tender awards when the JHU held the power ministry post??? Amnesia???

fernando Friday, 31 January 2014 04:16 AM

How many times and on how many occasions have you scratched the backs of the rulers by maintaining silence in the face of injustice. Why not they scratch your back this time with a few hundreds?

Good idea supporters and well wishers will give the money ,better if you would provide the final accounts after the elections.

ADMM Saturday, 01 February 2014 10:53 AM

I know this gentlemen well. He is a faithful person. I have proof to show any one who wants to know abt him. Please don't insult good people. All the best dear sir.

Jim pappa Saturday, 01 February 2014 04:46 PM

Please don't ridicule him, KD. You can't sell even a hair pin without an advertising campaign these days, let alone winning votes from a whole district. As far as I know he is one of the rare breed of politicians who does what he says, and one of the very few politicians who handed over his official vehicle etc., on the last day in office. I wholeheartedly wish him luck.

Sushan Senanayake Friday, 21 March 2014 05:45 AM

We vote him for "Dharmarajya" he rewarded us with Environment Levy TAX. And we all are paying that with mobile phone bill. Now he is asking another Rs 100/=

Goone Thursday, 30 January 2014 12:00 AM

Appreciate your honesty - sent Rs500.-

KD Thursday, 30 January 2014 10:17 AM

Shows that people in our country are so kind yet so much more stupid. This is how politicians take us for a royal ride and screw us like pigs.This one takes the cake! Let me ask Mr. Gammanpila why he needs my Rs. 100? Why not just ask for my vote instead ? If you're worthy of my vote I would give it wouldn't I ? Wouldn't you ? You have been in politics long enough to have done enough to just ask for it. The circus never ends and we like monkeys always fall for it. Those fools who pledge money to politicians please give it to your mum or dad. At lease buy a lunch packet for a begger.

MediaRocky Thursday, 30 January 2014 10:37 AM

Don't post useless words unless you got proof. Don't insult people just because you suspect them.

willows Thursday, 30 January 2014 10:43 AM

Udaya are you afraid to ask for the vote instead 100 bucks, what a nice way to make a quick buck whom are trying to fool this time?

nilshi Thursday, 30 January 2014 10:51 AM
