Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera has told former President Mahinda Rajapaksa that there was no necessity of the latter’s help to govern the country, as he (ex President Rajapaksa) had left them a 'mess up'.

In a twitter interview, former President Rajapaksa said he was open for discussion with anyone including President Maithripala Sirisena for the sake of the country.

In response to this, Minister Samaraweera tweeted back saying 'NO THANK YOU! Certainly not your advice on how to govern the country. Look at the mess you left, for us to clean.'

What nonsense is the Finance Minister speaking? What about mess left by RK and the stench emanating from it? It is only now we are realizing the gravity of it. We understand that this present regime has taken much more loans than the previous regime, but have hardly anything productive to show.

Mahinda can still help the Yahapalanya to stay on the right direction as Yahapalanya going backwards ...

Dee Sunday, 30 July 2017 03:17 PM

If the same economic advice is given to YP. 10 years down, we won't have any assets to even sell, let alone lease. Mr is a great man, not his advisors.

Well done !

DEAR MR. WEDDING, THE MESS AT THE MOMENT , BEING CREATED BY YOU IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.

ceylon Sunday, 30 July 2017 01:00 PM

mahinda made everything mess.present government made it worse.dont make these talks to people.they are in anger with all your stupid yaha palanaya gang. via DM Android App

jay Sunday, 30 July 2017 01:13 PM

mahinda left the country after increasing GDP by four times and reducing our debt to GDP ratio from 102% to 72%..Is that a mess?

lankaboy Sunday, 30 July 2017 03:32 PM

ohh boy, that says how much he increased the debt..more than 300%..with probably inflated GDP data with infamous CB then governor

Arnold Sunday, 30 July 2017 04:11 PM

GDP increase was artificial created due tot he increased economic activity due to building of Hambantota port and airport.

VMS Sunday, 30 July 2017 01:41 PM

We all know very well how MR and his family ruined our country. Nobody can challenge that. He left our country with mess and that is the reason we chased him out of power. As Mangala rightly said we don't want MR help to create more mess. MR should retire from politics and all his followers will be kicked out from politics.

Good reply hope your leader and your cabinet colleagues too should be strong to keep these JO guys at bay who have become a curse to society. via DM Android App

Shan Sunday, 30 July 2017 02:00 PM

Mess up was initiated by MR and company, continued by the present government. Mess up by 50% and 50%

Raz Sunday, 30 July 2017 02:00 PM

Good gesture by MR.Only help that is welcome is to bring back all the hard earned commissions the MR.family earned. via DM Android App

Mevan Sunday, 30 July 2017 03:11 PM

People still remember what MR did for the sake of the country and for his own family and brothers. 18th amendment was a classic piece of selfishness and power hunger.

chandra Sunday, 30 July 2017 03:45 PM

Now the real mess up comes to the scene with yahapalanya. Talk to people hold election to test. via DM Android App

But Mangala has no shame in seeking support from terrorists and Tamil diaspora. They say: "Mangala Samaraweera came as a ‘beggar’ urging Tamil support for regime change and abolition of the executive presidency. It was 2013....”

When President Trumped pioneered as a high ranking politician to tweet every one said Trump was degrading the elected political office,what is happening now? All over the world politicians are copying President Trump.

M.O.A.Careem Sunday, 30 July 2017 06:30 PM

appreciatory factor MR.M.R visit FCID in time - that help is great to the country and study the judicial roll

True Patriot Sunday, 30 July 2017 06:52 PM

It is a mess in your eyes only nobody asked you to come to power to clean anybodys mess, you should have voted for MR and helped him carry out his vision instead of collaborating with the bankrupt west to throw him out. Please hold elections to find out your popularity.

Jay Monday, 31 July 2017 05:02 PM

U R VERY 100% CORRECT!!!

sss Sunday, 30 July 2017 07:04 PM

Sir when are you going to pay back the huge ghost loans your relatives got from peoples bank

Ras Monday, 31 July 2017 11:07 AM

"They are born to sell"

sachith Monday, 31 July 2017 03:14 PM

Its time for people to say " No thank you" for SL politicians.

DillonDP Monday, 31 July 2017 04:02 PM

its well read as we know better than you to make a mess of this country. Wish we were under British rule

lol Friday, 04 August 2017 05:36 PM

The current government might be worsening the mess but hopefully we'll receive the long term benefits, unlike the short term benefits we received thanks to the previous regime
