The Kalutara rebel had always described himself as a diehard Blue and since of late he had begun talking about his seniority in the Blue party as well.

In fact, several Pohottuwa stalwarts had asked the former strongman why he had not thought of giving a fitting reply to the Kalutara rebel breathing fire at his younger brother. His stock reply to them had been “Balamu! Balamu! (wait and see)”
