Will not support political parties to bring people to their rallies: Gemunu
19 November 2023 09:21 pm - 16 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
COLOMBO (Daily Mirror) - The Lanka Private Bus Owners' Association (LPBOA) has decided not to provide buses to any political party to bring people to their rallies and meetings in the future.
LPBOA Chairman Gemunu Wijerathne told the Daily Mirror that providing buses to bring people to political rallies and meetings should be stopped at least now.
"All political parties, including extremists, socialists and capitalists, used to gather people for their rallies and meetings using buses, and most of the politicians used to mislead innocent people, and this had been the practice for the past seventy-five years, he said.
Therefore, the association has decided to support only political parties that do not bring people to their events.
"There should be a political party that people feel that they should come. Otherwise, there is no point in supporting the existing political parties that rob the people," he said.

Yes you can remember how aragalaya treated you when your fellows tries to trump support for the Rajapakshes.

Which means you have done it before?

Good decision to help the government. In return, you can ask the government to increase bus fares. This is the result of the recent JVP rally that made Ranil -Rajapkshes government to jitter.

Gemunu, must have forgotten how he was strashed by Mahinda. Allapan Muttiya.
Gunsi Sunday, 19 November 2023 10:55 PM
Who the hell does this guy think he is ? A mere bus operator who thinks he is the law.
Mahila Sunday, 19 November 2023 10:57 PM
Very Sensible Proposition!!?? Why expose the Drivers, Conductors and Buses to a 'DIP', in the Aftermath in the BEIRA LAKE??? Unnecessary and unwanted EXPERIENCE and EXPENSES for repairs!? That's the way to GO, Gemunu!!! "STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE", heard the Wise Old Owl say!!!???

Let us see for how long will he keep this promise. When he sees a few Rupees he will wag his tail and will cart people in buses.
Amaran Monday, 20 November 2023 01:30 AM
It does not mean that you can increase the bus fare. Pay reasonable salary to private bus conductors.

What ever you say your intentions are clear it’s to curtail huge crowds gathering at NPP meetings. Boy remember it’s not that easy and you will fail miserably in your attempt.

He will buckle under pressure in due course towards the election. He will be bribed. Mark my words.

This guy always utters nonsense. Perhaps he thinks he is an important guy. Check his head to find out whether he is growing horns.

Three wheel drivers and bus drivers have only one qualification and that is arrogance. No education, No discipline, No logical thinking, No general knowledge and worse belongs to the yakko community.
Adwani Monday, 20 November 2023 08:28 AM
I cannot understand why the media wanted to cover the remaining space by spreading this person's crazy message. Before he was speaking about diaspora and now about political party bus hire. Those who need money will certainly undertake hire from anyone, be it political prty or marriage party.
Saman Monday, 20 November 2023 08:32 AM
Very good decision gemunu.Some political bring people from outstations via busses and deceiving people
Shiran Monday, 20 November 2023 01:34 PM
Well done. Stay with your decision. Political rallies should be restricted to people from that area/ district. Why waste election expenses just to say" we had a crowd of 100,000"? All shipped from far away by giving a bath packet and a bottle of arrack. Another political gimmick to fool the gullible voter.
