Dolawatte, the star class bootlicker. Luckily the NPP does not entertain these turncoats or may be they are not turncoats but all the same lot. What joke. The NPP will be in power for the next ten years or more. If not NPP, the people will have vote for bank looters, commission kings etc.

WHERE HAS ALL THE DIGNITY GONE!!! THIRD ATTEMPT Thursday, 30 January 2025 05:49 PM

DOUBT ALL COMMISSION KINGS AND BANK LOOTERS WILL BE AROUND IN 10 YRS AND OR CONFINED TO THEIR BEDS OR WHEEL CHAIRS. MAJORITY DO NOT WANT THEM BACK, SO A BETTER WAY WILL BE IS BRING OUT PEOPLES POWER AND HOUND THEM BACK INTO THEIR HOMES AND OUT OF POLITICS. 1O YEARS FROM NOW VERY DOUBTFUL ANY OF THEM WILL BE IN POLITICS, UNLESS OPERATING FROM BEHIND THE SCENES, LIKE RANIL DID 2ND ATTEMPT WITH GAS CYLINDER AND FAILED.

No matter they will hold lengthy discussions. Eventually the the discussions so held will be ended without a compromise. And then Dolawatta will embrace his former leadership he will join hands with NR. He will contest for the upcoming local government election under the flower bud symbol. But he can’t secure a seat

Iwazaru, Could you quantify volume of the ɓank looters gain, and the basis if your computation. You just comment without having an iota of the issue.

Just to barge in, the looted volume is unquantifiable. So much so it was reflected in the booting out of all the looters. That's as plain as it is.

The commission appointed by Prez Sirisena determined that Ranil was not connected to the bond scam. Does this not peneterate your skulls ?

Where does the meeting take place? Probably in the nursing home for dementia patients where Ranil is staying.

Power Hungary, they cannt live without power otherwise they cannt loot the country and make bankrupt again. Ranil, you are shame , what you have done to this country, just encouraged supported corruption, protected murderers including MR, made the poor people become poor .Retire and do some charity work. Still you need hotel meals and power. Give some time to current government, you had number of years. Changing the culture and Government mechanisim is not easy after 77 years.

He will never retire. He wants to form a common opposition leader, as Sajith wants, by ousting Sajith and the SJB while trying to erode the SJB by putting a bait by a bogus means of a discussion for uniting. Will the SJB swallow the bait of him and prove that they are damn idiots, as a whole? Ranil’s that opposition can be named as a union to stand against trimming their privileges and indictments as it is a suppression, according to their vocabulary.

Stop the crooks coming back Thursday, 30 January 2025 02:28 PM

Those rejected by the public are trying to sneak in to start up their corrupt activities again. Public must stay with more honest group and not walk back to to the wicked corrupt group again.

HEARD IT FROM THE GRAPE WINE!! Thursday, 30 January 2025 06:08 PM

RANIL WILL NOT RETIRE UNTIL HE MAKES ONE LAST ATTEMPT TO OUST ANURA/NPP, HIS TWO PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS FAILED. HIS NEW PLAN WHICH HAS BEEN LET OUT BY A COUPLE WHO WILL BE ATTENDING THE MEETING/S, RUWAN COMING IN (INSTEAD OF RANIL) AND SAJITH AS DEPUTY AND GOING BACK TO THE ELEPHANT SYMBOL. NOT YET SURE IF THEY WILL RUN AS INDEPENDENT, GROUPS, NDF AND THE LIKES.

We are all very happy with the NPP and you don’t have to intervene on behalf of us the people. All of you are a bunch of fabricators and liars. For the first time in many years we are experiencing proper governance of our country. We are also aware that the government can’t rectify everything over night which has been systematically ruined for 76 years. We are willing to give them their full term.

Mr. Dolawatte, are you crazy? You wash clothes to Mahinda and hang unto Ranil. Please note, both are discarded dead vegetables and rely on Hon. President Anuara Kumara Dissanayake. Sometimes, he will appoint you as a secretary for a ministry.

Meet Ranil and have a cup of black coffee and get back, there is nothing to be discussed with a Lunatic.

No more rogues from SLPP, UNP, SLFP, SJB should not come again and spoil the soup. AKD and his professionals in the NPP had already made plans to develop our country and we must trust them.

Dolawatte, you are dancing too much these days like Dr. Ramanathan (North). No use hanging unto RW as he is rejected by the public. For heaven sake, give up politics and do your job as a Lawyer.

Irrespective of what all of you wish to harp on day and night, you forget that Ranil was the person who managed to get the country out of bankruptcy. The NPP are able to run this Govt. only because of what Ranil did, as otherwise, considering the things that are happening now, we would have been in dire straits. It's OK to hate Ranil, but try to give the devil his due.
