Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said if President Gotabaya Rajapaksa steps down as the Presidet, Basil Rajapaksa could become the President as he commands the majority support in Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP).

He told reporters in Kandy after visiting Mahanayake Theras yeterday that "We could never imagine the fate the country would have to face, if Basil Rajapaksa becomes the President".

The Minister said he was still of the opinion that President Rajapaksa was a politically inexperienced and failed leader.

"If he is a successful leader,he would never have invited us and offered ministry portfolios," he said.

    You are calling for trouble

    Tom jones Monday, 30 May 2022 06:52 PM

    Wijedasa too should be asked to go . He is indirectly supporting Basil.

    We are now begging for food and money from foreign nations. Once SL was a rich and fertile nation. All this is because we had corrupt and selfish people in power since 1950'a.

    Undoubtedly, Rajapaksas are very INTELLIGENT leaders that was why they invited you MUTTS to take some ministry to please you with PERKS, you do not really understand their master plans. That is why we call Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe

    How can a dual citizenship holder be the president? If a dual citizenship holder cant contest the presidency election then how can a dual citizenship holder be the president though the person commands the majority in parliament?

    Full aathal Monday, 30 May 2022 07:36 PM

    Ok, if so, mr basil rajapaksha has majority in the parliament , he should be nominated as the prime minister; how come mr Rw became the pm . What an endless headache.

    Sas Monday, 30 May 2022 07:55 PM

    Wijrdasa has hidden agendas. He can and shoud never be trusted.

    Sambo Monday, 30 May 2022 08:00 PM

    There will be a blood bath if this moron will become president. Are the politicians sitting on their brains.

    Sambo Monday, 30 May 2022 08:05 PM

    The people are undergoing the hardest hardships in their lives and you people are fighting as to who should be the president.

    Lanka Monday, 30 May 2022 08:23 PM

    Something is radically wrong in this country's political system...

    Shameless Kaputa Monday, 30 May 2022 08:36 PM

    Don't play any tricks be honest and do what you said. Basil may have the support of majority of the SLPP with his purchasing power with the money hoarded from the people of this country. But he will never win in an election. People knows he is a criminal.

    sam Monday, 30 May 2022 08:47 PM

    So that is the way you are solving the aspirations of the people

    jayt Monday, 30 May 2022 08:48 PM

    You should have known, he is a long time agent. This is how spies work. They put the cat out of the bag and tell who they are when they want to. All these so many Sinhalese political parties and their leaders link to Tamil Tiger supporting spies in the West.

    Deal Dasa's has begun his game.

    Aragalaya Tuesday, 31 May 2022 12:37 AM

    This Deal Dasa should NOT BE TRUSTED

    Bernard Tuesday, 31 May 2022 12:41 AM

    If the 21st amendment to the constitution is passed only a President is elected by the majority vote in the Parliament, therefore it is premature to predict and maintain the status-quo.

    Jamis Bonda Tuesday, 31 May 2022 01:00 AM

    No doubt, you are with the Govt. because to save Gota, Mahinda and Basil its clear now, greedy fellow.

    Asanka de Mel Tuesday, 31 May 2022 01:25 AM

    You must check his BRAIN. Maybe he don't have one!! Stupid.

    numas Tuesday, 31 May 2022 03:04 AM

    basil is the biggest thief sri-lanka has seen

    Jayapala Muhandiram Tuesday, 31 May 2022 04:54 AM

    Why did you save them? You are an opportunist! Good to go with RW and make a new party with RW.
