"In fact, he would be an excellent Prime Ministerial candidate if he contested from the new party, the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) is going to form. He will have to fight it out with his former Defence Secretary brother and the other leaders of the BBS who will turn on each other the moment this new party is formed. We can telecast the event live like the most anticipated boxing match we witnessed recently."
The leaders of these trade unions were no better. “MR rise again” was their banner. What a sad state of affairs.
These people were once good, hardworking and dedicated political activists. Now they call for re-instating Mahinda Rajapaksa as it is necessary for them to get back on the bandwagon of syphoning State resources for their comfort.
The irony of the situation is that most of these so-called left trade union leaders used State resources during the Rajapaksa regime as if it was their private property. Deprived of their corrupt life style and comfort zones under President Sirisena they were whipped up into a frenzy which resulted in the assault of their own friend and former comrade Dr. Nirmal Ranjith who was doing what he did every May Day and attending all the rallies in Colombo.
I hope that in time they will wake up from their day dream and do some serious self-reflection. This would immediately start their journey towards President Sirisena when they realise that they have been betrayed by a corrupt despot using them as pawns in a game to return back to power. I must condemn their so-called leaders in the worker’s movement of Sri Lanka. I am sad that no worker nor Left analyst has yet exposed the shameful aspect of this so-called false May Day held at Kirulapona. May Day is about worker liberation and not political servitude to a dictator.
Left leaders screamed and yelled from their political stages criticising all other parties for celebrating May Day.
I want to ask them what right they have to celebrate the May Day under a banner that calls “Rising up with MR”.
Did he at least make effective the Worker’s Charter during his tenure of service to the nation? The leaders of the Communist Party, LSSP and DLF conveniently developed amnesia during Cabinet meetings during the past ten years about this subject.
The same amnesia they developed in relation to electoral reforms regarding which Dinesh Gunawardena wrote the report of a Parliamentary Select Committee.
Now, they hope to bring a 20th Amendment with a lengthy electoral reform process and a lengthy debate to delay Parliamentary elections and buy them more time to build up their alliance of fraudsters. They will not succeed. People will get their wish of elections as a soon as possible because the people demand it.
Away with this 2010 people’s mandate which degenerated into a competition to see who is the most corrupt. It is time to elect a new Parliament and go towards a new political journey. Rajapaksa can join all the other political loonies in Sri Lanka.
In fact, he would be an excellent Prime Ministerial candidate if he contested from the new party, the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) is going to form.
He will have to fight it out with his former Defence Secretary brother and the other leaders of the BBS who will turn on each other the moment this new party is formed. We can telecast the event live like the most anticipated boxing match we witnessed recently.
This can be followed by a leisurely show of Rajapaksa and his cronies flying kites in Galle Face like he did during the Social Integration week organised by his friend and ardent supporter a few months ago, an event at which he refused to speak about social integration and instead chose only to fly kites. Now, he can really go fly a kite.
