Mervyn Silva on UNP stage

Sunday, 28 February 2010 14:05

UPFA candidate and government Minister Mervyn Silva took to the stage at a UNP election rally in Kelaniya this morning and delivered a message to the opposition organizer of the area saying both parties should campaign for the General Elections peacefully.

However the Minister noted that supporters of the ‘Swan” have no room to campaign for the polls from the Kelaniya area. General Sarath Fonseka had contested the last Presidential polls under the swan symbol. (Courtesy Lankadeepa)

We should elect correct people to the parliament. It is up to the people to decide.

-15+96 # Guest 2010-02-28 14:42

This some gimmick because he knows the UNP will go flat out for him.

-50+18 # Guest 2010-02-28 14:48

this is general in Sri Lanka. nothing to wonder in these types of public warnings....

-17+86 # Guest 2010-02-28 14:52

MERVYN HAS TO WORRY FOR NOTHING. BCOZ HE WILL BE ELECTED THROUGH NATIONAL LIST FOR SURE....

-1+7 # Guest 2010-02-28 22:15

He is appointed through the National list always as MR knows well that he cannot even get 1000 votes for himself other than his relations will vote for him.

-4+2 # Guest 2010-03-01 01:54

Don't forget that he is the Prime Minister in waiting!

-78+12 # Guest 2010-02-28 14:56

He shouldn't have done this intruding as it may harm his own party and him.

-1+2 # Guest 2010-02-28 23:18

Oh... he had done endless services to our nation and for his party.... so he should not lose his image. (At the first instance, does he has an image). He is an additional weight for our soil.

-1+6 # Guest 2010-02-28 23:22

Luckly we were not prepared with a gallon of Red paint to give you a paint bath Mr. Mervyn Silva. You escaped, next time if we see you .... sorry Gomma bath only you will have OK.

What is he upto? Your guess is as good as mine.

-0+0 # Guest 2010-02-28 18:50

Mervyn knows his days are numbered..He is trying to be in the good books of the UNP..
Again another shameless act from a shameless fellow.

-0+4 # Guest 2010-02-28 19:08

UNP shouldn't have taken Mervyn to the stage. Im sure people will decide on Mervyns faith very soon.

-0+3 # Guest 2010-02-28 19:36

He is planning something.....

-0+6 # Guest 2010-02-28 19:57

THE THUG SHOULD HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT FROM THE STAGE, SHAME ON UNP TO ENTERTAIN HIM.

-0+1 # Guest 2010-02-28 20:14

Kiss the hand if you can't cut it.

-0+3 # Guest 2010-02-28 22:13

May be the cunning MR would have sent this Joker to check his strength in Kelaniya and to get some smypahty votes (atleast 1000) preferential votes. Oh poor nutty !!!!

-1+1 # Guest 2010-02-28 23:25

Jayawewa .... Mervyn Mathi Thuma.... you are the next President of SriLanka after Mahinda..... Good luck.

-0+4 # Guest 2010-02-28 23:41

mervyn encouraging 'peaceful polls' is the biggest joke of the century.

-0+1 # Guest 2010-03-01 00:05

It looks like both parties scared to SF.I am sure they will get
together to go against SF. Is it a double game by UNP.

-3+1 # Guest 2010-03-01 02:04

When he try to get reformed, help him instead of attacking him.

-0+2 # Guest 2010-03-01 02:51

Try and see this other way round to see what happens.

-2+1 # Guest 2010-03-01 04:01

Very Good Precedent. But make sure both parties stick to this historic agreement. GOOD TO HEAR, ONCE IN A WAY MERVYN SILVA IS DOING SOME ATTRACTIVE THINGS.

Mad Fellows have no place no time and they themselves don't know what they are doing? But, the sensible people will have to be in the watch!

-8+10 # Guest 2010-03-01 07:32

Hey Sarath, you can have Mervyn....

-3+9 # Guest 2010-03-01 07:53

for a change, this is good humor

-3+10 # Guest 2010-03-01 08:15

Just drama .................. just to collecting some votes...............

-36+7 # Guest 2010-03-01 08:30

Very good Mervin , brave son of mother Sri lanka,

-4+13 # Guest 2010-03-01 08:34

i wonder whether it is our real Mervin?

anyway show ur peace in action...

-2+21 # Guest 2010-03-01 08:45

An Appeal to voters of Gampaha district...please do not vote for person like Mervyn Silva. UPFA members have many other candidates for voting. This is your turn. Use your votes wisely. Elect only decent people to parliament.

-1+2 # Guest 2010-03-01 08:47

Is this the 1st frog from the UPFA? With so many contestants & national list nominees, and Pres promised to reduce the cabinet to 35 - there will be many more frogs jumping to some side in the opp

-0+3 # Guest 2010-03-01 08:50

Go Mervyn, Go !!! This side or that side or other side, you will sit in your seat! alas that's the truth!

-2+5 # Guest 2010-03-01 08:52

may be MR advised him to keep a good relation ship with UNP as they need 2/3 majority.
Something happening, cannot understand, it is not good for the democracy.

-2+9 # Guest 2010-03-01 09:04

This so called Doca couldn't take even get 2000 votes from Central Colombo at the last General Election.Who is he trying to fool??

-5+3 # Guest 2010-03-01 09:58

Its really good exaple to others provided he did in good faith everybody needs violent free election.

-1+5 # Guest 2010-03-01 10:01

Coming events cast their shadows.

-2+6 # Guest 2010-03-01 10:04

So why is he so dead against the swan? that is cos that was sucha threat! Unp is not a threat to him but the swan alliance was. so it proevs that it was a wrong decision to contest separately. & these ppl are dead against SF COS even in the opposition he will be STRONG & DYNAMIC.

-1+7 # Guest 2010-03-01 10:13

Mervyn Silva - "Sabaa Venasak"

-9+2 # Guest 2010-03-01 10:23

That's a small Rehearsal.

-2+6 # Guest 2010-03-01 10:34

Hey Mervin, Why don't you stay permanently on the UNP stage? Anyhow threat is not for UNP or Swan . it is only for the UPFA members

-4+13 # Guest 2010-03-01 10:47

i feel like there is a hidden agreement between UPFA and UNP. Suspicion started when soon after Ranil came from India, he met MR. Now this incident. Are these guys planning to eliminate SF for the sake of India?

-0+2 # Guest 2010-03-01 23:09

Do leopards change their spots?

-0+2 # Guest 2010-03-01 23:55

This gives the 'best' message to the country - 'similar types' are contesting from the two major parties.

-0+0 # Guest 2010-03-03 11:15

If Mr.Mervyn like to drive on the elephant even just as a joker why dont he try to accompany the swan too because the swan is the only sign to protect our country from the terrorist
