This is not cheap tactic adopted by his predecessors. During previous regimes we in kandy saw often helicopters hovering around Kandy bringing corrupt politicians wasting much needed funds to pay homage to the Dalada Maligava. That waste stop as soon as AKD came to power.He doesn't need this tactic as he has already won the heart and mind of the people for his simple living and curtailing his expenses to the bear minimum

Once tried to destroy Dalada Maligawa and now trying to worship the same. It's not that easy to "unbreak" Karma.
