Basil’s march opposed by his own Rajapakse group : ‘We can’t fall prey to Basil’s stupid proposals again ’

(Lanka-e-News- 24.July.2016, 6.55PM)  Rifts have erupted within  the  Rajapakse faction of the SLFP itself in regard to the march from Kandy to Colombo that was to be launched based on a proposal made by Basil Rajapakse ( now behind bars charged in connection with  colossal  frauds) , and organized by the Rajapakse group.

Vidura Wickremenayake and those of the Ratnapura group with the Rajapakse faction but haven’t  so far got implicated in frauds , corruption and crimes, that is this exceptional few of the notorious Blue Brigand stated , it is too early to launch the march against the government. When not even a year has elapsed since the government  was installed in power , using the weapon of protest march that is used as a last resort this early will mean the weapon will become blunt by the time it is truly needed, they pointed out. 

It is the opinion of that group , this protest march  that must be a last resort being used earlier on the advice of Basil will be akin to inviting disaster like what happened at the last presidential elections . By holding the presidential elections  two years ahead on the foolish advice of Basil despite everyone else opposing that move, it finally ended in defeat and despair . The group also pointed out ,therefore by trying to do ahead what should be done later, its potency could just fritter away.  If foolish Basil’s ( best at robbing the country and earning illicit commissions)  ‘dead rope’ was not swallowed , still the Rajapakse government would have been in power . But now following Basil’s advice Basil the latter is thrown into prison while Rajapakse government is thrown out of power, they lamented. 

Another objection raised by this group is , at that time, Mahinda Rajapakse staged a march from Colombo to  Kataragama against the UNP whereas, this time it is from Kandy to Colombo . Mahinda went to Kataragama from Colombo then to petition  to the deities , whereas this time marching from Kandy to Colombo is to petition which god ? they questioned.

 The group with Rajapakse blue brigand  that is not implicated in any  crimes and corruption so far  questioned , ‘don’t we who have not robbed have the same urgency as those who robbed?’

Meanwhile Pavithradevi Wanniarachi with a tiny group is going  around Ratnapura begging and pleading  to muster support  for  the march. In other words the  interests of SLFP in the march has dropped to that minute level.
