Gujarat, Feb 07 (Daily Mirror) - The National People’s Power (NPP) delegation led by leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake headed for Gujarat, the home base of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, yesterday after the conclusion of their second day of the Indian tour, Daily Mirror learns.

The NPP delegation is expected to meet Gujarati Chief Minister Bupendra Patel and do some sightseeing in the state. Gujarat is the political stronghold of the Indian Prime Minister who once served in the state as its Chief Minister. His success story in the development of the state boosted his image to run for the top post of India later.

The NPP delegation yesterday held talks with the representatives of the leading Indian think-tank ‘Observer Research Foundation’.

Also, the NPP representatives visited the Unique Identification Authority of India. Earlier, during the visit, they held talks with Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan.

They will later visit Kerala , an Indian state governed by a communist party.

Indians are spending so much time on them means only one thing, they are sure of coming to power.

Indians are not spending time with him. He is trying to spend time with the Indians.

When Anura becomes president, the cabinet of parasites would have to join Keheliya.

Buddhist Wednesday, 07 February 2024 06:14 AM

That is a very positive move. Good for you, Anura.

Fred Wednesday, 07 February 2024 06:33 AM

Good Idea visiting Kerala, economy similar to SL educated people, with socialist values similar to visiting delegation, also Gujerat as it has been a success story in development SL needs a Can Do attitude to succeed

You are right, but the big difference is most of the Sri Lankans are lazy. Keralites are very enterprising and half of them are in Middle East, engaged in various ventures.

Gdshhhhjhjjjj Wednesday, 07 February 2024 07:14 AM

All the very esteemed Anura, only thing, be very careful you never know our MR can trigger any time, that type of a animal he is

Not only MR but also RW

This not good. Serious politicians do their business have their meeting and get back at the earliest because their job is here at home. The Thai PM who was the chief guest at the 76th Independence celebrations went straight to the Airport and home. The JVP leadership is so immature, they behave like children when shown a shiny object. Very disappointed. They should grow up fast.

We wish the party all the best that you gather full support of the Indian regime.

Subash Perera Wednesday, 07 February 2024 08:01 AM

Great achievement and long way to go....

in spite of its heinous history and change in political thinking, superior to some unrefined current half baked party leaders who could now be developing cold feet, heading for Modi's home town - Gujarat- no doubt with Modi's consent, definitely is a feather in AKD's cap

Dr.Ambethkar and Modi in India Wednesday, 07 February 2024 08:55 AM

There is a valid reason to visit Kerala the successful state. Reason - Socialism, no caste, nor religious conflict. But to visit Gujarat? The very opposite of Karala? Even the statue of Dr. Ambethkar- the only Buddhist luminary who helped write India's constitution has to be kept in iron cage to protect from vandalism by Modi supporters.

Thai P.M's visit and Anura's visit are for two different purposes.

Liberal One Wednesday, 07 February 2024 10:03 AM

Modi will introduce them to Adani and then the opposition to Adani's investments in Sri Lanka will vanish. Smart play Mr Adani.

ajitha Wednesday, 07 February 2024 10:15 AM

open your eyes (and brains) AKD and see the effect of private sector involvement in heath, education and nation building

Bandu Wednesday, 07 February 2024 10:24 AM

Anura is not smart enough to understand why Gujarat is prospering - by been business friendly and attracting investments.

shelliah Wednesday, 07 February 2024 02:03 PM

Great job visiting to Kerala, is a long run communist state and beautiful place clean and dicipline. I hope our country one day run from honest people. Mr.Anura has got good ideas but our people always want thugs to run our government. God bless.

This man is the only hope srilankan who has been deceived for 75 years.

Tissa Fernando Wednesday, 07 February 2024 07:06 PM

Yes it is the hope of Indians too in acquiring all available strategic businesses in Sri Lanka . AKD will sell out Sri Lanka to Indianl in wholesale.

Ruthless Truth Wednesday, 07 February 2024 07:16 PM

On what basis are you commenting? do you know any of their economic or foreign policies? Will they allow privatisation of loss making SOE's that are eating our tax money. What is their solution to the ethnic issue? Voting for empty rhetoric's starting from SWRD to Gota has only brought this country to bankruptcy status. Don't continue on with the 'ignorance is bliss' theory.

Tissa Fernando Thursday, 08 February 2024 08:01 AM

@Ruthless Truth, honestly I have not heard any straight forward plan from them except legalising prostitution and exporting of Grapphite (not grapphhine) . They are also not sure what to do with the ethnic issue but they do not follow any religion so they may not bother. Their main theme is that they say they will not be corrupt like others.
