'SLFP OBU' would be a better name

Leo Wednesday, 02 November 2016 04:03 PM

True. No strong government = no development. Defeating Rajapakshe is the biggest mistake our people made in recent history.

Hesh Wednesday, 02 November 2016 02:11 PM

Good start. Prof GL Pieris is educated and moderate.

Compared to GL, you are an undeveloped seed my friend.

He is the third academic I know of who dabbled in politics. eventually they contributed nothing to society academically or politically. They had the astute knack of making the wrong decision and backing the wrong cause - always.

GL HAS AT LAST GOT A JOB TEMPORARILY THOUGH

The bud will fade away as the JO would face defeat after defeat led by a crook. via DM Android App

New chapter in political sphere. Hope this party can revolutionize our society like in 1956

Many years of isolation from power for SLFP on the horizon.....

The word Eksath which binds the bud with the tree has been dropped. Hence the bud has been already fallan down. M.R. has taken G. L. for a ride. via DM Android App
