    Only when Ranil is there the aspirations of USA would be filled, he needs to conspire against the win of NPP, hence the visit to Sri Lanka

    NPP Lalkantha will destroy SRI LANKA with his stupid ideas. Hon Ranil only saved Sri Lanka at a time when NO ONE came forward to lead the country. Hon Ranil deserve to be reelected. Of course, he has his own weakness. But overall, only he can take the country to prosperity.
