Buffaloes say no to Minister

Buffaloes involved in ploughing paddy fields during the Vap Magul ceremony at Anthuduwawela in Hali-ela, had refused to respond to Minister Dilan Perera who took part as the Chief Guest.

His attempts to drive the buffaloes failed and ultimately the farmers as usual drove the buffaloes while the minister walked with them with a stick in hand.

The state ploughing ceremony was organised by the Haliela Divisional Secretariat, Pradeshiya Sabha and the Agrarian Services Centre. (Palitha Ariyiawansa)

Today's buffaloes are smarter than the Meeharak ministers.

ravi Monday, 03 December 2012 06:14 AM

Ranil should learn from buffalo.

Meeharaka Monday, 03 December 2012 06:31 AM

Even buffaloes are not willing to take instructions from ministers. The pathetic plight of SL.

Saliya Wickremasuriy Monday, 03 December 2012 06:41 AM

The best news.

sirisena Monday, 03 December 2012 06:42 AM

Before he started doing that act, in his speech as the Chief Guest, he was joking at how Ranil Wickremesinghe was giving commands at the concluded party conference to his party-men.

However, later he was not able to command, even the Buffaloes properly.

leelananda Monday, 03 December 2012 06:48 AM

buffaloes took his command was as an insult to them because they know this guy is worse than a buffalo.

ANTON Monday, 03 December 2012 07:44 AM

Haleemdeen Monday, 03 December 2012 02:03 AM

What a Sri Lankan buffalo understands is not understood by the voting public.

Calistus Jayatilleke Monday, 03 December 2012 02:42 AM

Wow, the four-legged ones are much smarter than the two-legged ones who go on voting and worshipping the politicians who are worse than buffaloes when it comes to behaviour. What now, Impeach those buffaloes for refusing to toe the line?
