Hon. Dr. Mervyn Silva (FRCS. MBBS, ETC, ETC) would have been a better choice.

Concern Citizen Thursday, 11 December 2014 11:12 AM

Based on this decision, can expect more crossovers from government to common candidate!!! Wrong decision at the wrong time!!!

What does he know about Health Sir. Are you crazy or you think the SriLankans are crazy.

prasa_ku Thursday, 11 December 2014 10:41 AM

Ok , Mr TA , now tell us in your next conference how you safeguard UNpiers with the move - That was your prime motive of crossing over - Keep one thing in mind that average public in SL are not as foolish as you I relate his cross over to late Anura Bandaranayaka , when ever he crossed the party got defeated .

jaya ntha liyanage Thursday, 11 December 2014 10:41 AM

J Palitha Thursday, 11 December 2014 10:40 AM
