Oh, my gosh, this is turning out to be a leadership musical chair competition between the Prez and the Premier. When one comes and barely gets out of his traveling clothes, to put it literally, the other goes out. Yahapalanaya is losing its credibility by the day.

The country is poor, people are struggling to put food on the table and now it is sinking due to the floods. Your PM is jaunting to a rich western country? Is he mad?

When the country is under water and people are displaced, it is not fair enough for the PM to make Foreign trips showing blind excuses.
