A government Diyawanna member known to be leading a cushy lifestyle had recently put his foot in his mouth when he exhorted the people in the country to manage with two meals a day.


This politico elected from the Colombo district had earlier held an important position related to empowering the poor. 


The government high-ups had got the goat when they learnt about this statement which was given wide publicity by the media. And they had brought this into the notice of the Big Boss and the latter too had viewed it with displeasure, they say. 


The Diyawanna member in question had later realized that he had made a gaffe which had irked the Big Boss himself and decided to take damage control measures before he could face repercussions. He had hurriedly called a Press briefing and declared that his wish was to see that the people in the country would become prosperous enough 
to have even four 
meals a day!


The Diyawanna member’s overnight switch-over from the position of two meals a day to that of four meals a day had amused even the government high-ups, they say.
