Dayasiri won’t crossover: Karu

UNP MP Karu Jayasuriya said today he did not believe UNP MP Dayasiri Jayasekara will cross over to the Government.

He said rumours were being spread about Dayasiri crossing over but don’t believe in such wild rumours.

“Don’t believe in them it’s not wise to do so. Dayasiri is one who loves the party and is very dedicated to it. I do not believe he will do such a thing at this time. There can be certain issues that may cause dismay, but we have sorted these problems,” Mr. Jayasuriya said.

Mr. Jayasuriya told a news conference he was unhappy to see the crime rate increasing. He said the main reason for this was the removal of the 17th Amendment and the introduction of the 18th Amendment.

”State institutions have been politicised. The government has promoted henchmen. UPFA politicians are responsible for the increase in the crime rate. Some of them are even having parties for raping hundred women. These are things we have never heard before,” he said. (Nabeela Hussain & Nishan Casseem)

    Karu also crossover. He distroyed the UNP. Now he speak from back!

    Karanamkaraya Wednesday, 25 July 2012 10:12 AM

    It is a pity many do not know Dayasiri crossed over from the PA to the UNP. He was GL's private secretary when he was Minister of Justice & Constitutional Affairs in the 1994 Chandrika government. So what's the fuss?. He is only getting back home.

    Surprised........... Wednesday, 25 July 2012 10:40 AM

    Jump you bugger jump,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now is the time you will have to wait 6 years before you have a new leader, so jump now........

    He is the prime cause for what UNP today. Instead of getting few people off UDFA to form a govt, he crossed over and killed the party. He returned cos MR didn't give in to his wishes. Don't fall for white national dress and half closed eyes. Inside same devil just as all politicians.

    what was Karu's contribution in eradicating the LTTE

    Ashok Wednesday, 25 July 2012 11:04 AM

    I think he should cross over Dayasiri is a good politician ranil been there no chance for sujith's group

    MS Wednesday, 25 July 2012 11:01 AM

    Ranil wants Dayasiri to join with MR....
    Ranil wants to be the Opposition for ever

    So what else to do

    Dayasiri

    mangala Wednesday, 25 July 2012 11:11 AM

    Now come together and win. We hope our leader understands the peoples feeling. Sajith ,Karu , Dayasiri and all others great . should join any other side.

    Somapala Wednesday, 25 July 2012 11:42 AM

    Who is Karu to make this noise when he himself has crossed over and had to be vooed back by Ranil giving him a deputy position in a platter agaist democratic norms. There was no contest and then he goes behind to stab the very guy who appointed him.

    nona G. Wednesday, 25 July 2012 10:21 AM

    not for money but expected reputation now restricted to hand shaking.

    Lion Wednesday, 25 July 2012 11:41 AM

    Hey! Don't forget that once upon a time Dayasiri was in the SLFP. He has the experience in crossing over. In 2001 he crossed over to UNP with his master Prof. GLP. Master left the student in the UNP and went back to UPFA. Now the student's turn to follow the master.

    Supun Perera Wednesday, 25 July 2012 11:51 AM

    If he does, he is committing Political suicide. It is common knowledge that those who join the corrupt regime are rouges who want a piece of the pie.

    dayasome Wednesday, 25 July 2012 11:53 AM

    If dayasiri doent like ranil's leadership he can always leave the party or fight against injustice but why join the government of MR who is ruining the country.

    kapa ta Pissu Wednesday, 25 July 2012 12:17 PM

    They say" EVEN MY DOG WUDN'T CROSS OVER or call me by a diff name if i ever cross over' ..If we are to follow what they said, then there wont b any dogs in the country or lot of name changes

    Richardson Wednesday, 25 July 2012 12:31 PM

    Politicians ( M P s)must have the right to work according to their conscience.
    They have to think of the country,not a job for their leader (loser)

    The people elect them as they think they can do some work for the country. Democracy is not helping the politicians to be in power. Country first.

    Richardson Wednesday, 25 July 2012 12:40 PM

    Dayasiri must go,We will respect you as a true politician who loves the country. Do Not support a loser,


    COUNTRY FIRST

    Ranil and few jokers around him are the ones causing biggest disaster to Sri Lanka. People in Sri Lanka will never vote Ranil as the leader of Sri Lanka and this is a fact understood even by school children. With Ranil as the leader of the UNP the UPFA govt has no challenge and corruption, wastage and nepotism are thriving. Dayasiri , Sajith or Karu will have no chance to lead the party as long as Ranil is there.

    Minister Thursday, 26 July 2012 04:13 AM

    You said "I do not believe he will do such a thing at this time" Does that mean he will jump over at the next time, if not at this time as you say?

    Sando Wednesday, 25 July 2012 08:43 AM

    Ranil please cross over to the government so that UNP can come to power

    mm Wednesday, 25 July 2012 08:15 AM

    DONT forget.. you crossed over and returned...!!!

    kumara Wednesday, 25 July 2012 08:08 AM

    said with hands on experience in crossing over

    Mahinda Leelaratne Wednesday, 25 July 2012 08:18 AM

    When you crossed over also, no one believed. But this will happen as he has to be in patriotic team.

    IND Wednesday, 25 July 2012 08:34 AM

    Would you believe that you too have to cross over once !

    Nodrog Wednesday, 25 July 2012 08:28 AM

    Well we never thought you'd cross-over too but you did.

    UNP Wednesday, 25 July 2012 08:24 AM

    Dont forget that if Karu had not crossed over , today LTTE would have survived , It is better to say that UNP supported to defeat the tigers by sending some MP's to other side. Karu is not a politician who crossed other side to earn money.

    Kuhan Wednesday, 25 July 2012 08:24 AM

    Not same mistake , i did

    Yehiya Wednesday, 25 July 2012 08:35 AM

    Mr. Karu must come to leadership & MR payroll members must remove from party.

    mm Wednesday, 25 July 2012 07:59 AM

    Good character....recommend the other.

    Wara Wednesday, 25 July 2012 09:11 AM

    Sando has come up with the best solution in the very best interest of us Srilankans.

    High Jump Wednesday, 25 July 2012 09:44 AM

    Dayasiri will not go but you went and came back and trying to
    break the party. you came to politics because of Ranil. You went against him and also
    contested for leadership against him. you should leave the party gracefully.

    mm Wednesday, 25 July 2012 09:32 AM

    If Ranil cross over to the government, then who pay his bucks $$$$$..!!!!!!

    AUTO Wednesday, 25 July 2012 09:47 AM

    Mr. Dayasiri, Go ahead You and your supporters will definitely stand to gain by the move.

    nona G. Wednesday, 25 July 2012 09:57 AM

    nona nona neenna noona..........

    Leslie Wednesday, 25 July 2012 09:56 AM
