Thanks to the good gesture between RW & MR

R.W was using his personal vehicle for some time when his official vehicle breaksdown, Remember when he borrowed a vehicle from a supporter allegedly sold by the JHU leader some time back.

MK Friday, 13 August 2010 07:50 AM

This must be the first time that an opposition leader used an official vehicle for this long!! haha

Leslie Dason Friday, 13 August 2010 07:31 AM

Concerned, he is bound to accept it and will tell us good reasons for doing so!

KD Friday, 13 August 2010 07:13 AM

C'mon buddy. Its's our beloved leader we are talking about.

Josh Friday, 13 August 2010 06:02 AM

PABA AND ROSY Friday, 13 August 2010 05:57 AM

SAJITH HAS LOT OF MONEY RECEIVED FROM HIS CORRUPTED FATHER.

Lanke Banda Friday, 13 August 2010 05:48 AM

One of these days he will cross over to MR.

Hemantha Friday, 13 August 2010 05:40 AM

Mr. Ranil don't oppose for cost of living

Devamithra Friday, 13 August 2010 05:39 AM

What else has been promised ? UNP ers watch closely. He is two timing.

Ray Friday, 13 August 2010 05:34 AM

Everyone has his price !

Calistus Jayatilleke Friday, 13 August 2010 05:13 AM

It really pays to pay a visit to the Temple Trees once in a way!

Concerned Friday, 13 August 2010 04:50 AM

If he is a leader with a backbone, he will refuse this vehicle. If he accepts it then he cannot any longer talk about the sufferings of the masses in this country. Lets wait and see.

M.H.Sheriff Friday, 13 August 2010 04:42 AM

It looks like the Govt wants to Keep Ranil in the opposition forever, it seems he enjoys it.

Cynic Friday, 13 August 2010 04:35 AM

MR has rewarded Ranil for his services to the UPFA.

rohitha Thursday, 12 August 2010 06:27 PM

He can continue to use it for another 12 years.

Dammika Friday, 13 August 2010 04:13 AM

I believe he will not accept

Muhandiram Imsid Friday, 13 August 2010 04:05 AM

Swift quid pro quo. Here is proof that the Cabinet is quite alive to urgent needs!

Dee Friday, 13 August 2010 04:04 AM

no need for a new one, one of the many lying around will do. at least reduce one from the 'three of the same types' and give one of em, this will save funds

Dinesh Friday, 13 August 2010 04:01 AM

Why not for Sajith?

srilankan Friday, 13 August 2010 04:01 AM

He might get a Rolls Royce for the work done for MR.

Thusi Friday, 13 August 2010 03:55 AM

Yeah...to save himself from his own UNPers

DHA Friday, 13 August 2010 03:39 AM

Our politicians are famous for crossing over is Ranil too planning a crossover ....?

Mohamed Friday, 13 August 2010 03:13 AM

Is this another of the Govt's way to get him to join hands with the Govt like they have always done with most other UNP members?

Bala Friday, 13 August 2010 03:09 AM

So this why he was hanging around Temple Trees ostensibly for discussions. Yes at least get the crumbs.

Harry, What Bullet Proof Cars for Ranil

Girigoris Thursday, 12 August 2010 09:29 PM

The opposition leader's hard work. Well done Ranil!

Harry Thursday, 12 August 2010 08:37 PM

IS IT A BULLET-PROOF CAR?

Elaris Thursday, 12 August 2010 07:41 PM

A baby elephant?

Ruwan Ferdinandez Thursday, 12 August 2010 07:03 PM

Let's face it, 12 years old it may be, but hardly a Fiat 'Punto,' is it?

Ruwan Ferdinandez Thursday, 12 August 2010 06:59 PM

There you go! The secret discussions are bearing fruit! Will he accept it? Let's see how concerned the Opposition Leader is about the cost of living of the ordinary masses.
