Those who castigated Ranil Wickremesinghe and deserted the SLFP saying that they could not serve in the yahapalana government with Ranil as the Prime Minister now are in an intense battle to secure positions under President Wickremesinghe, General Secretary of the SLFP, former Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara said.  

Those who insulted former President Maithripala Sirisena, President Wickremesinghe, the SLFP and the Yahapalana Government even formed the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) and it was ironical that the SLPP has become the saviour of the Wickremesinghe regime today, he added.  


“With the emergence of the SLPP, many thought they buried the SLFP for ever. We were subjected to extremely cruel and unfair bashing at the last general election. Some SLPP politicians told voters not to vote for the SLFP. But the SLFP was able to secure 14 seats in Parliament even amidst these negative propaganda to maintain its position in domestic politics,” Mr. Jayasekara stressed.  
He said the media plays an extremely important role in politics and therefore, no political party or politician could survive by antagonizing the media. 


Former Minister Ranjith Siyambalalpitiya said the vernacular media in many instances use the Goebbel’s theory to attack politicians and political parties. Hitler’s top propaganda man in Nazi Germany mas Paul Joseph Goebbels who invented the Goebbels theory which means when you say a lie 100 times in the same way, it becomes a truth.  


The former President and SLFP leader is a victim of Goebbels’ theory during the last few years of the yahapalana regime because the media, the social media in particular spread a lot of lies against him,” Mr. Siyambalapitiya said.  

In today’s politics, the success of political parties and politicians depend on the handling of the media, he added.

    This is not a time to raise old politics. All MPs should get together to work out a solutions economic crisis

    This type of a mixed pickle government will never work with out type of people. Every one wants a position and will end up a stale mate. We have seen enough of these happen in the past.

    Our current predicament emanated by toppling RW's previous yahapalanaya government, due to jealousy among political rivals. The saying that RW was not elected by the people has no weight, who are our majority voters, mostly village folks, who don't have a foresight about economy, who could be bought for a bottle of liquor or few rupees, can these people decide the fate of the country? Of course no.

    Now it is clear that the next Presidential/General Elections the main parties will be SLFP, SJB

    Sokrates Saturday, 13 August 2022 10:18 AM

    If your party manages to get rid of the Lunatic Maithri, the SLFP will experience a great boost again. That Maithri is mentally ill, he has proved a hundred times through his absurd decisions and schizophrenic actions during his time as President.

    Last chance for most of the 225

    Aiyo Sirisena is political. Liability. Go home Sirisena

    Jamis Saturday, 13 August 2022 05:29 PM

    Unfortunately, most of our politicians are the same. They are all crooks irrespective of the party. Of course there are few good ones in every party as well. But that's a small minority. Therefore, one party accusing the other is meaningless. Only ignorant people think that one group is better than the other. These guys should acknowledge that they are all power hungry crooks. That will not change. But what can change is for everyone to get together for a couple of years to put the economy back on track. These guys making accusations about the past does NOT help.

    The Last Hurrah! An opportunity to put away for history sake, all those who are eying Minister portfolios know that this would be it , The results of a future general election will show case a complete 360* turn for almost all parliamentarians.

    Who is the Black sheep? Saturday, 13 August 2022 10:00 PM

    One Aiyo Sirisena, one Gota, One Mahinda or One Wimalaya and the ilk is enough to send the nation down the hill to gutters, that even a beggar from south India donated his day's collection. MPs like Dayasiri are just talking without donating their 3 months salary to buy medicine. Are the worse than the beggar from South India?

    GHT Saturday, 13 August 2022 11:11 PM

    Dayasiri, a well known CROSS-OVER guy, was wrong in his statement. Ranil was rejected when he was in the UNP gathering SLFP to form YAHAPALANAYA. You cannot even be proud of obtaining 14 seats for SLFP in the last general election, do you know that before you all MESS UP joining the SLFP which took lead in forming the government with 113 to 130 seats. Ranil has been seen a real leader to lead the nation into PEACE

    N Andhasena Sunday, 14 August 2022 03:43 AM

    First and foremost SLFP should have their leader assessed for mental stability. Not long after yahapalanaya came to power he and megalomaniac RW were at loggerheads. He orchestrated the disastrous Coup in 2018 together with his sworn enemies. That was the leverage that SLPP needed.
