SLFP is doing really well. Getting more and more strong , After seen the vote base of newly appointed organizers in most of the districts, we can see a very clear victory in the next elections over the highest preferential vote takers who lost the organizers posts....God bless the party!!!

The money comes from what was looted from the CPC during his father's time.

Long overdue. At last we see some acton from the SLFP to cleanse the party.

Seems like the President is out to prove his strength. In the Rajapakse years SLFP was successful at getting everybody join the PA. I can't remember anybody being sacked by Rajapakse... Unfortunately for Sirisena, this demonstrates his difficulties in bringing people together and that he is week. Janaka Bandara and Lohan Ratwatte were down and out. By this move, Sirisena has made them heroes of the Joint Opposition.

If a poisoners Mushroom is removed or withdraw is very true as these guys played out and earned approximately 18 millions.

These rotten guys are always hanging to MR as they get an allowance of 2.5 million every month from Mahinda. Take it from me.

Lohan Ratwatte is not suitable to be a MP at all. He is getting the votes only by throwing money around and thuggery.

The next step is to sack them from the Party. And to follow up with a letter Secretary - Parliement and EC notifying of unseating. And naming next in the lists for vacant seats.. via DM Android App
