CBK will support govt. breakaway group for Karu instead of Ranil; Mangala for common alliance threatens

(Lanka-e-News- 05.Nov.2014, 5.30PM) Following the immediate return to the Island of former President Chandrika Bandaranaike , the SLFP rescue organization group of government MPs and Ministers who are victims of the Rajapakse injustices and atrocities , have met her and had a discussion . The group that met with the objective of supporting a common candidate of the opposition decided that if at least Karu Jayasuriya contests as the common candidate and not Ranil Wickremesinghe of the UNP, they will extend support. This decision was intimated to Ranil Wickremesinghe.

They have justified their decision on the ground that there is an opinion among the people that Ranil is a losing candidate , and that trait is unchangeable. They also questioned why Ranil is seeking to become a President for six months if the executive Presidency is to be abolished.

However , the former President and the SLFP rescue group who strongly opposed individuals like Sajith Premadasa who called the government members who crossed over to the UNP as rats and frogs ; and Tissa Attanayake who called them as ghosts, warned that if they continue to obstruct the efforts towards unity , and if the group that is causing the obstruction is not controlled , they would not extend the support.

Recently , during the discussions with Ven. Sobitha Thera , when the JHU questioned Ranil on why he is trying to be the President for six months if the executive Presidency is to be abolished , Ranil did not give an answer. The JHU stated , if Karu is contesting as President instead of Ranil , they would give due consideration to it.

Meanwhile, on the 1 st , the group for good governance led by Ven. Sobitha Thera met with Ranil Wickremesinghe and Karu Jayasuriya. At that discussion it was revealed that if Karu is contesting instead of Ranil , they would extend support.

A group of UNP MPs had also met Ranil on the 1st and explained to him he is incapable of winning .Among those in the group of intellectuals that met Ranil comprised Dr. Wijedasa Rajapakse, Dr. Harsha De Silva and Eran Wickremeratne . Ranil on the other hand had told them that it is the decision of the working committee that if he does not contest , it is Sajith Premadasa who should . Subsequently however , Ranil had threatened the MPs indirectly that if he is not contesting he will field Sajith as the candidate . Incidentally , the majority of members of the executive committee is pro Ranil and not pro Sajith.

Meanwhile ,Gen. Fonseka the leader of the Democratic party who heard of this said, if Sajith is fielded as the Presidential candidate , his party would contest independently, adding that he would under no circumstance support a bandicoot like Sajith.

At the same time , Mangala Samaraweera who moved heaven and earth for two long years to induce a group of the government to break away and join the opposition is also disgruntled after the insolent remarks cast at the groups crossing over to the UNP ,and Ranil’s indifference without attempting to rectify them .

Mangala has given warning signals to Ranil that he would have to take a decision politically if the forming of the common alliance is going to be delayed further stemming from the conspiratorial manipulations of Sajith- Kili- Tiran Trico like how it was postponed hitherto.

Mangala had clearly explained to Ranil that defeat at elections is writ on the wall without forming an alliance , and Sajith is earnestly waiting to take over the leadership after the defeat , while pointing out to Ranil that he (Mangala) cannot therefore carry on with Sajith . Mangala had hence warned Ranil against postponing the formation of the alliance , and if the common alliance on a common program is not put in place , he would be compelled to take a decision politically.

Those close to Mangala have revealed that the latter is thoroughly disappointed and disillusioned with the crippling of the leadership council and the withdrawal of the communication division that was under Mangala when elections are around the corner , after falling prey to the manipulations of the evil Trico .

The Trico who got wind of this , hatched anther conspiracy against Mangala. They began publicizing that Mangala is going to join with the government , and went as far as to make an announcement to this effect in the ‘breaking news’ 3rd night.

On the other hand , if Ranil casts aside the common program and common alliance , which alone can steer the UNP to victory , and makes moves driven by personal greed for power , not only the party but even the country is headed for inevitable doom and irretrievable despair.
