Congratulation to Maithree first of all contesting as the presidential candidate by passing even the leader of opposition Ranil Wickremesinghe and therefore UNP which was the second biggest party is now under your direction and if you win (big if) make sure the UNP and its leader goes to sleep for ever. To defeat mahinda you have to be triple smarter but he is tipped to win the 3rd term and I am been realistic here not optimistic

Am watching cricket on CSN - all adverts are for Mahinda only and they do not say paid advertisement. So the CSN openly flouting election law.
