    If this man endorses Ranil Rajapakse then there must be something fishy…..

    Bala Balaraman Thursday, 08 February 2024 12:38 AM

    Very fishy ,yes

    You are fishing in troubled waters!

    dinesh Thursday, 08 February 2024 12:36 AM

    sold his soul to the highest bid im sure...as someone said...they are all buddies....

    Ramesh Thursday, 08 February 2024 01:18 AM

    The country knows what RW is doing. Simply protecting Rajapaksas from their corruption. If CV wants to back RW there is something he is upto. He is too old to make decisions, that's all.

    Shakespeare Thursday, 08 February 2024 01:55 AM

    This person has lost any respect he had among the down trodden Tamil population of Sri Lanka. At his advanced age, all what he is doing is trying to perpetuate his political existence -GOD KNOWS FOR WHAT? It is sad they never take a page of Shakespeare -Mark Antony on the death of Brutus says - 'Elements so combined in him were such that, mother nature will stand up to the world and say -THIS IS A MAN'.

    VRAJ Thursday, 08 February 2024 04:08 AM

    HE SHOWS THE REAL COLOR AT THE RIGHT TIME.

    Ram Thursday, 08 February 2024 04:46 AM

    President talked to him and did not disclose what was discussed. I take the discussion as a valid contract struck, where President's offer was accepted my Wigneswaran

    Shame Thursday, 08 February 2024 04:52 AM

    He is the best companion with MR and co that's why he makes this statement as to protect MR and co Doesn't he know how people suffer for at least one time meal in RW regime

    Last chance Thursday, 08 February 2024 05:25 AM

    Ranil Rajapaksa is a traitor ,when he was the priminister under CBK our forces were fighting a ferocious war , north and east were under LTTE control we have to take permission from LTTE to travel there . Once When our troops capture kilinochhi he and Ravi Karunanayaka ridiculed our troops by saying they captured madawachchiya. Such a character

    Kamal Thursday, 08 February 2024 11:12 AM

    Just remember that RW is the strategist, who through his strategic maneuvering divided up the LTTE North from the East during the ceasefire period he negotiated. That was the start of the downfall and crumbling of the LTTE's grip. He has not been given credit for this strategic move as a few people wanted to claim all the glory. Had he been allowed to continue his approach by CBK without sabotaging it, we may have had the desired long term outcome without the additional high human life toll on both sides of the conflict.

    KOKUVILAN Thursday, 08 February 2024 05:57 AM

    THIS MAN MR.VICKEDNESAN IS SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA .WHAT HE SAYS IN THE MORNING AND WHAT HE SAYS IN THE EVENING ARE TWO DIFFERENT.ITS LOOKS LIKE THAT HE IS GOING TO GET ENVIRONMENTMINISTER POST WHAT WAS HELD BY MR.KELEYA RAM PUKAYA.

    Lokka Thursday, 08 February 2024 05:59 AM

    He would have already done a deal with this racist? With this guy in the scene, Ranil will not get even the few votes expected.

    Kalakani president Thursday, 08 February 2024 06:41 AM

    CID needs to check this man's bank account for suspicious transactions. Maybe Tiran met him with a bag full of taxpayer money.

    Nodaking kalakani Thursday, 08 February 2024 06:42 AM

    So this is how the president is spending the VAT money extorted from people?

    Sleazy president Thursday, 08 February 2024 06:45 AM

    Be careful when making deals with the president, you will be investigated and you don't want to end up like Keheliya now do you?

    Couger Thursday, 08 February 2024 06:46 AM

    RW never got a decent chance to implement his vision for the country. His own self serving party men, constantly pulled his leg at every turn. Opposition did their best to tarnish his image. Interestingly, he was the only priminister who got vilified for his actions with all powerfull presidens above him ruling the country, in the past, despite pulling the country out of an economic mess in 2001

    Onlooker Thursday, 08 February 2024 07:19 AM

    So what is the deal.

    Tissa Fernando Thursday, 08 February 2024 07:48 AM

    Old guard helps old guard

    Sambo Thursday, 08 February 2024 07:51 AM

    His personal thoughts does not mean all the public in the country likes him.

    Basuru Thursday, 08 February 2024 09:16 AM

    School loyalty comes up again.

    Terrence K Thursday, 08 February 2024 10:04 AM

    If he is the Best Candidate for the Presidency what has he be doing for the last donkeys years holding responsible positions in the Cabinet and the most number of being Prime Minister and it shows that he has been like RIP Van Winkle the fairy tale been asleep for so many years and got up when bankcruptcy has taken hold of the country. There are more dynamic candidates vying for the Presidential portfolio who have not been given an opportunity who may outsmart the longtime contenders. So wait for the future what it holds as it may be surprise to all the oldies!!!!!!!

    Crab Thursday, 08 February 2024 05:31 PM

    Dynamic candidates? Sajith? Anura ? Ha, ha,ha.

    Tim Thursday, 08 February 2024 07:01 PM

    The problem is all the other so called young

    Gamini Thursday, 08 February 2024 01:01 PM

    All three-MR/RW/Wiggy belong to the same old elders retired club

    Real reconciliation Thursday, 08 February 2024 02:49 PM

    RW may be the ideal presidential candidate for extremist and opportunistic groups like this guy but not for the general public of this country. You can also join Ranil, Mahinda, Gota, Chandrika and Sirisena at the upcoming election. This clearly shows the similarities between the leaders elected by the people in both North and Sounth over time to lead the country. This is the year to change this trend.

    NV Jen Thursday, 08 February 2024 05:10 PM

    Birds of a feather. Ranil ruined a golden chance under Yahapalanaya rule and straighten things up leading the country in the right path. Similarly, Wigneswaran, wasted a good opportunity as the CM, to develop the North by doing nothing other than empty resolutions and retuning back money to Central govt.

    RR Thursday, 08 February 2024 05:44 PM

    MANY INCLUDING TOP POLITICIANS STILL DONT UNDERSTAND RANILS SPEACHES

    RR Thursday, 08 February 2024 11:57 PM

    THE VOTERS WILL DECIDE WHO SITS WHERE
