A true leader like Ranjan will use all the adversity as publicity to gain more popularity for the upcoming election. Way to go Ranjan. My vote is for you from whatever party.

Good that the police were not intimidated, and arrested them!

now Ranil / Sajith coalition will nominate this thug as a member of Parliament...

This man is truly insane. After all his phone call drama if people are still defending him that is a sorry state for our country and a reflection of our country’s biased partisan politics without conscious/rational reasoning. Sincerely hope Ranil/Sajith will leave him out of the party so that he can go on making films on parliamentary jokes..!!! There where he belongs.
