Matara, May 1 (Daily Mirror)- Claiming that proper organizational power and law abiding society were needed to develop the country, the National People's Power (NPP) leader Anura kumara Dissanayake said only the NPP has the best organizational power and discipline to develop this country.

Speaking at the NPP Matara District May Day rally, he said neither Ranil Wickremesinghe nor Sajith Premadasa could create a disciplined and law abiding society.

"We have proved in our four May Day rallies that we are the well-diciplined people's force.The other political forces lack discipline. Our May Day rally is the well-organized Mat Day rally and the procession. That organizational power and discipline are needed for this country. This country lacks discipline and it is full of crimes. The government also lacks organizational power. These governments and parties can only drag along this destruction. Can Ranil bring about discipline? Can Sajith do it? Neither of them can create disciplined and law abiding society," he said.

He said the country is badly in need of a disciplined political force to take the society which is abundant of crimes to a correct path and added that only the NPP government could do that.

Dissanayake said the NPP is not a mere political force against any particular political party or person but it is the most powerful people's force which is opened for all the people irrespective of political differences. 

He said they tried to allocate the Galle Face Green to hold their May Day rally but the government refused it. "Finally, we decided to hold it on the road. Some 300,000 people were supposed to come for the May Day rally. So, even if we managed to get the Galle Face green, we would not be able to accommodate the crowd. That is why decided to have three main rallies in Matara, Anuradhapura and Colombo," he said.

    Pipe dream. Were all the gruesome murders in the name of the movement some years ago all part of thier law abiding, disciplined society prelude?

    Sachith Wednesday, 01 May 2024 06:59 PM

    If there are, please go to courts and prove? Current politicians know they can only do these kind of useless shouting about 88/89 using their henchmen. Also remember so called president had proven guilty by Batalanda investigation for killing innocent people.

    Ramal Wednesday, 01 May 2024 08:00 PM

    @Sachith May be you are not old enough to remember, but the facts of their deeds do not need the court to adjudicate. If you are old enough, then you are the proverbial ostrich who buries its head in the sand. The bottom line if that they still adore and revere the likes of Wijeweera and Lenin. Yes, their portraits adorn the walls of their office in the most prominent of places.

    Tissa Fernando Thursday, 02 May 2024 09:34 AM

    @Sachith is having a blind vision like everyone who listens to these red master's talks gets hypnotised and believes every word spoken by reds. People believed Gota too. It is the same things now.

    Crooked politicians Thursday, 02 May 2024 02:08 PM

    Well said, NPP is our only hope of establishing a civilised country.

    DOT Wednesday, 01 May 2024 06:42 PM

    Very optimistic ! People behind you ; Far Far behind you !

    Sabhaja Wednesday, 01 May 2024 06:58 PM

    Lol. How come Lal Kantha enjoy Madiwela House which is allocated for parliamentarians. These guys are rogues nothing else. If power is given to these unemployed guys they will misuse the state funds worse than other parties.

    Logical Wednesday, 01 May 2024 07:21 PM

    These brainless uneducated thugs will only bring a permanent bankruptcy to the country. Only people who wants to live on freebees at the expense of the country will vote for these idiots.

    citizen Wednesday, 01 May 2024 07:34 PM

    To be correct every party had great organising powers. why Ranasinghe Premadasa, Sirisena Cooray.Basil Rajapakse (master organizers)to bring a party to power!! Discipline is nil.bcos Leaders henchmen were under deep suspicion in making money and finally losing the Govt.!!!

    Dee Wednesday, 01 May 2024 07:49 PM

    Yes! Correct! Subversives have good organizational skills. Especially in destruction and sabotage!

    Jude Thursday, 02 May 2024 09:42 AM

    Ahole Dee, do you agree about BATALANDA, RANIL started the precedent of employing gangsters, do you agree!?? Rajapaksa's killed media people and journalists, also some opponents like thajudeen, do you agree!?? Rajapaksa's plundered the country, do you agree!?? In the process bankrupt this country, do you agree!??

    Dee Friday, 03 May 2024 06:01 AM

    Hey Judy! Such Counter subversive units was required to save the country from terrorism,We might need it again. But this time it’ll be difficult because they will be voted in by people. God save SL

    Chris Wednesday, 01 May 2024 08:10 PM

    A party that starts burning opponents houses, sabotage and terrorists with no policy. No Policy Party. Get lost.

    Jude Thursday, 02 May 2024 09:34 AM

    Chris come October you have to eat your own words!!

    Rajan K Wednesday, 01 May 2024 08:15 PM

    The Sri Lankan voters should give these guys a chance as we have been mowed to ground by SLFP, UNP, SLPP etc. NPP should promise to bring all those crooks to books once you get elected.

    johan Wednesday, 01 May 2024 08:55 PM

    NPP should be the alternative because we have watched past seventy six years, with great difficult whatever we sacrificed and earned govt. is pickpocketing us through various taxes and we have become empty but politicians are enjoying all perks and privileges such as vehicles,houses,allowances etc. which should be stopped until country comes to normalcy.Ruling parties and opposition will not do this job.Only NPP can do this.

    Abd Wednesday, 01 May 2024 10:03 PM

    In Recent history, Batalanda,CBSL bond scam and selling the country to live day to day economics, will miss RW’s votes. Treacherous plunder of state wealth ,converting country to a island of baggers lost faith with SLPP, so only hope is NPP, we give them for five years and monitor carefully the progress,

    Gabriella Wednesday, 01 May 2024 11:03 PM

    These is a saying, “it is better to keep your mouth shut and have the whole world think you are an idiot; rather than open it and remove the doubt.” The elections are around the corner. The people are clamouring for change. And these NPP/JVP neophytes have only demonstrated an aptitude for mouthing platitudes and worn out rhetoric. Surely, some of the many intellectuals who allegedly dominate the party can formulate some credible policy that assures the electorate of contemporary thinking and progressive strategy. Currently all we have from the NPP/JVP is condescending rhetorical bullshit that people have been hearing for the last 76 years, and are sick and tired of hearing. Unless the so-called intellectuals who have graduated from the University of Peradeniya display some brilliance, the unloose able election is destined for the scrap heap.

    Nimal Thursday, 02 May 2024 05:29 AM

    Both factions that ran the country during the last seventy-eight years have failed miserably. Today, these scoundrels are interested only in enriching themselves at the expense of the general public, no matter how disastrous it will be for country. The drug scams, rush for bar permits, (by both factions) and the demanding of duty free vehicles are their latest ruses in the unending line of deceptions of which they have never been short of. So let us give the NPP an opportunity to rule the country, as will definitely be done at the next elections. However, we must monitor how they perform and correct them if they, too, go astray.

    Jh Thursday, 02 May 2024 11:26 AM

    The posh crowd who are waiting to vote for him in dream of an Australia will have a rude awakening.

    Hero Thursday, 02 May 2024 12:12 PM

    Only JVP/NPP can create a land of zombies and know how to destroy a country. They have done it before

    De Shap alanamathakaya Thursday, 02 May 2024 12:14 PM

    All this rehtoric of assured Victory is due to their very certain fear of a Defeat. Let people realizethat these are the very same guys who killed off the capable

    Rathnavali Thursday, 02 May 2024 12:38 PM

    If the NPP gets the reins of power, it will be too late and will be impossible to get rid of them since they have the murderous habit built into their system. Even the university students who embrace their culture act like hooligans threatening other students in universities. Give them the seat of governance and Presidential powers and watch how the country turns into another Pol Pot regime. If they take over, we will not have any support from developing countries but there will be many outside powers that would try to gain control leading this country into anarchy, purely because of the important position we hold in the Indian Ocean. This country will then be worse than Sudan!

    Last chance Thursday, 02 May 2024 12:45 PM

    You certainly could do it as we have seen how your party sack Polgampala from the party ,for taking his brother to Japan and settle down him there illegally using his position as a M P in the parliament.We are sure that you will establish a law abiding country where rule of law applies to everyone equally

    Fahim Muffakir Mutazilah ( one who reasons) Thursday, 02 May 2024 01:06 PM

    Voters be mindful of embracing the iron fist over the velvet glove of governance ----- ----------- Opponents of democracy often harbor a desire to dominate society, ironically opting for authoritarian control instead of governing with the consent of the governed. Sri Lankans don't seek disciplinarian politicians; they long for the preservation of their sovereignty, enabling them to hold leaders accountable. It's crucial for society to recognize and address this dangerous trend of favoring an iron-fisted approach over gentle governance.

    jude Thursday, 02 May 2024 01:30 PM

    Of course Aravinda Kumara. Why not use your original name for a start?

    Tissa Fernando Thursday, 02 May 2024 04:11 PM

    But based on the current trend, NPP is likely to win the election. But how better they will manage the country, I have no confidence.

    Tim Friday, 03 May 2024 10:55 AM

    No one will get the required 50% in the Prez. Elections or 113 in the parliamentary elections.

    Banda Thursday, 02 May 2024 06:29 PM

    Don't get misled by these crooks. So far, they are not corrupt. But as soon as they get power, you can see the difference, like in North Korea. They want to create commune-style governance with judicial powers. If you do not behave the way they want, they will not hesitate to shoot you or hang you to eliminate you. Wait and see. That's what Lalkantha said at their May Day rally.

    Adwani Friday, 03 May 2024 04:27 AM

    'National People's Power (NPP) leader Anura kumara Dissanayake said only the NPP has the best organizational power and discipline to develop this country' Why you did not takeover???? We remember your Golayas distributing chits for general shutdown, drinking kassippu, while your late boss Wije consumed Whisky.

    Bandu Friday, 03 May 2024 07:02 AM

    Tell us HOW? How do you get more investments, how do you create more jobs, how do you improve public transportation, how do you increase countries economic growth, how do you reduce corruption. Sirima promised to bring rice from moon. Still waiting for the idiots who voted.

    Foot note Friday, 03 May 2024 11:17 AM

    Very well said. If all Upasakas and Upasikas, practice a bit of self-control the whole society and the parliament would be hugely disciplined. Then the law and lawmakers have little to do. People of this country who were born before 1975, very well remember the discipline of the 87-89 uprising which went out of control when Dehsapremee-Janatha-Viyapara (JVP) carders started getting personal revenge in the name of social justice. Governments in the world are always ready to face anything and counter everything in the name of humanity or democracy.
