Sajith is using his father's tactics. Make or break the party. Shame on you Sajith.

This is the meeting of winners. The brain of the king is working to negotiate with the presidential candidate in order to make the way of victory.

UNP is now divided and UNF is also in doldrums. Ranil will not give in and Sajith cannot overrule Ranil. Now Ranil or Sajith both will not beat Gota and SLPP was much advanced and planned well to have Gota appointed before UNP and the bus is gone
