    Welcome Wijedasa, we need people like you (educated) to our SLFP and not nutties like Sirisena. 95% will welcome you and also some more from SLPP and SJB also will join SLFP if a wise decision is taken by you.

    This guy has no firm policies, looking for ministerial position in the new government after election. This lecture could have been given my MY3 and unable to understand why he was asked to give a talk on current political situation. Jayaweva Dealdasa.

    D.J. Dias Tuesday, 02 April 2024 09:10 AM

    Stepping in to SLFP Head Quarters, he was rewarded 13 million from Sirisena. Now the truth had come out. Sirisena had begged WR to save him without facing jail terms.
