Final report on flopped Pada Yahthra that tore sunder even the remaining little prestige of Rajapakses

-Wimal Dheerasekera-

(Lanka-e-News -03.Aug.2016, Medamulana Mahinda Rajapakse in spite of being in power for two terms as president while committing robberies and  murders with impunity ,   through the recent much hyped pada yathra (march)  of his concluded on the 1 st which could only gather a crowd of only about 14000 supporters  proved to the world, what  a moron he is with demonic traits – that is, he can do nothing well except  committing  crimes.

It is a pity that Mahinda via this padha yathra fiasco  totally  destroyed even the flickering  hopes  the SLFP ers nursed based on their opinions that ‘ whatever happens Mahinda has a crowd with him.’ The march made it  abundantly clear to the masses that the  devil is not as strong as it is portrayed.  

On the first day , the  crowd was  around 4000; on the second day about 2000; on the third day about 1500; on the fourth day about 7000; and on the final day about 14000 participated in the pada yathra. That is,  the total  crowd was about 28500 over the five days which is clearly below 30,000. In other words Mahinda who polled 5.8 million votes last year at elections had with him less than 30,000 only  to join in his just concluded ambitious pada yathra !

Rs. 200 million is the expenditure but food provided is below quality – crowd contracts diarrhea !

Although a  colossal amount of money was wasted on the meaningless , purposeless and senseless  pada yathra , the food provided to the participants was of inferior quality . Consequently  a great many suffered from diarrhea , and they were seen running in all directions in desperation is search of places to defecate. As is always the case with Rajapakse projects  , in this instance too the food suppliers after collecting the monies have cheated by providing cheap quality unhygienic meals.  Nepotism of Rajapakse that ruined the country wholesale  had done the damage in regard to this food supply too by entrusting this contract  to  a Rajapakse relative.

In any event the media that covered the pada yathra were provided with a super luxury bus and hotel accommodation .The only media Institutions that did not use those facilities were the Swarnavahini and the Lanka deepa. They used their own transport and accommodation facilities. 

By MP Mahindananda saying  at a media briefing  that there was a crowd of 2 million people for their pada yathra , he only betrayed to the world he has not been taught arithmetic in  his primary classes . Perhaps being zeros parading as heroes,  to him between a thousand and a million it is only adding zeros . As Lanka e news revealed earlier on , if truly there was a crowd as large as  2000,000 for the pada yathra , by the time it reached Colombo , and  the front row of the crowd is nearing the capital , the last row should be even beyond  Kandy.

It was not possible for them even to muster the support of their  own 50 M.P.s who are supposed to be with them let alone the one million they expected for the pada yathra.! Even on the final day -the so called grand finale ! only a few MPs  participated.  The non participation of Chamal Rajapakse and Gotabaya Rajapakse in this pada yathra is something worthwhile remembering and noteworthy.

Based on State intelligence reports , the crowd was only about 14000 despite grandiose hopes of gathering a crowd of 100,000 in Colombo  on the final day . The Intelligence division also disclosed , out of the 14000, about 8000 had been fetched from outstations by buses.

How the last vestige of that little prestige left was lost on the third occasion

The most queer part of this failed march is , the yathra organizers while clamoring and screaming from  roof tops that they could muster a crowd of over two million  were demanding the small Hyde park ground for their yathra purposes where only a small crowd could assemble.  Since  that ground is  being refurbished , the president and Prime Minister in good faith offered the Campbell park as a better  option so that neither the public nor the pada yathra participants will be inconvenienced.
  
The Pada yathra leaders on the other hand realizing the cat would be out of the bag if they assemble at a large ground  while the crowd is small, chose  the  Town Hall premises where they erected a temporary stage to conclude their march after making speeches mounting that  stage.

No matter what camouflages and subterfuges were resorted to , the bitter disappointment following the fiasco was writ large on Mahinda Rajapakse’s face.

The present president who was appointed for 6 years  , and the government that was appointed for 5 years will reach the end of their terms  in 2020 .Under section 19 of the constitution until mid 2019 , that is until   4 1/ 2 years are over the president cannot  dissolve the parliament . In such circumstances , going on a march demanding back the reign even before one year of the term of the newly elected government is over is to demonstrate  the idiocy and imbecility of the  padha yathra moronic leaders. These buffoons by engaging in this march at the very beginning even before the new government has settled down to commence its onerous tasks ,  while  such a  march should   be the last weapon to be resorted to has only blunted the sharpness of that weapon.
 
It is well to recall Mahinda Rajapakse not only  lost his prestige  by holding presidential elections two years ahead of schedule , but also  his honorable prefix  ‘ former president’  by contesting the parliamentary elections to become just an M.P.  In like manner by taking another stupid political decision in keeping with his moronic traits to stage the padha yathra too early in the day, and at the most inopportune moment had lost even the last vestige of that little prestige  that was left in him. 

The foolish politics of grade 9 qualified morons  Mahinda and Weerawansa

Truly, Mahinda has only  passed  the grade 9 examination . Because he failed in mathematics in the GCE ord. level he was only allowed to follow the GCE adv. Level on condition that he should pass the O/L mathematics paper in the interim. 

It was Chamal Rajapakse after making  a spurious identity card in Mahinda’s name succeeded  by sitting  the mathematics paper from a remote area , a  relative of the family revealed to Lanka e news. Mahinda who also failed in the GCE adv. Level entered Parliament  ( the last refuge of most scoundrels and cheats of Mahinda’s caliber  ) on the votes of the people. 
  
During that time when Felix Dias Bandaranaike was the minister of justice gave a concession to MPs to enter Law College , which enabled Mahinda  to join law College  without sitting an admission examination , to finally become a lawyer. The final law exam papers too were   answered  by somebody else for Machiavellian Mahinda. 

Those who helped in that exam for Mahinda were Jeyaraj Fernandopulle and  Sarath Wijesinghe. In other words Mahinda actually has only a grade 9 qualification although he may be better qualified in other areas such as duping , deceiving and robbing.. Like birds of a feather , this moron along with the other grade 9 qualified Weerawansa got together on this pada yathra ( after having committed highway robberies  together during the period of their government).
 
It was Weerawansa and Gammanpila another notorious fraudster who were instructing Mahinda suffering from senile decay mentally and physically to move that way and go this way when going on the pada  yathra , which infuriated the other SLFP MPs. In any event , there were three SLFP MPs who were most active in this pada yathra. They were , Mahindananda , Johnston and Lohan Ratwatte.

Hooting at the party headquarters

It was confirmed that this pada yathra (march)  was indeed a  march undertaken by  drunkards and rascals when they began hooting and shouting “aapayage aapa kade’ when they were marching past in  front of the SLFP headquarters . Although Mahindananda at a subsequent press briefing said , that hooting and shouting was not carried out by those who came with them on   the march ,the video footages bear testimony that it were those participants   with Rajapakse when he was travelling with his security detail who started this disgraceful hooting and shouting. Based on the reports reaching Lanka  e news , it was the gang of Janaka Bandara Tennekoon of Dambulla who had started shouting ‘ Aapayage aapa kade’ and  hooting in front of SLFP headquarters .

If the party officials do not make it their top priority to purge the party of  these scoundrels and rascals who claim they are  SLFP ers , much graver problems may have to be faced in the future. 

The social media video that brought forth the truth about pada yathra

An individual who was walking close by to Weerawansa says , he has lost his purse that was in his hip  pocket. Weerawansa says , ‘I am of course keeping my purse in the front pocket. Here….’ and  shows his front pocket. 

This was clear evidence that those who participated in the march were  not genuine marchers but vagabonds and pickpockets.  Might we recall when these groups went to dash  coconuts at the Devale too they pick- pocketed Dinesh Gunawardena and another.

Another video footage had captured a scene when a group of henchmen from Kandy of Lohan Ratwatte went  berserk  on the final day because the sum of Rs. 1000.00 each  promised to them  was not given to these hired marchers.

Finally  -even if  Mahinda tells lies his tongue (not bifurcated yet) doesn’t  !

When concluding the march, Mahinda confirmed even if he tells lies (for which  he has earned the name ‘mendacious Mahinda) ,  his tongue doesn’t. ‘We are coming back not to go’ Mahinda warned the government. That is of course absolutely true….

By that he  proved his tongue does not lie though he lies. The past record of Mahinda is clear testimony that he held power not with any intention to go , and to be permanently installed in power. It was with immense dislike he eased his reins into the hands of the newly elected president on 8 th January 2015 , and it was with great difficulty Mahinda was got rid of. The people who know about Machiavellian, mendacious and murderous   Mahinda and his inordinate greed for power are however  saying in no uncertain terms ‘ we shall never ever allow Mahinda to come back, ’  even as Mahinda brags he will never go if he comes back .

This situation was  best illustrated  when   all those of the alliance government who had minor issues , and the party organizations’ social networking groups  who joined the rainbow revolution on the 8th  of January 2015 got together as one team to make the Rajapakse  march an absolute fiasco even as   Mahinda Rajapakse was bragging and boasting he would march from Kandy to Colombo with a million supporters.

What’s more ? the masses stripped the pada yathra nude on the very route they were marching -the response from the public the Rajapakse brigand anticipated did not materialize, and in the end Mahinda  lost even that last  vestige of that little  prestige that was left in him.

Minister Viajayamuni Soysa made a terse political comment in  regard to Mahinda’s brag, ‘ we shall be coming back not to go.’ Soysa said , that comment is most serious.

“These blokes are racists, religious fanatics ,  caste fanatics and extremists. They have only  one more label left to be fastened on them , that is terrorists . That is why they are saying, ‘ we are coming back not to go.’ But,  we are not afraid of terrorists. We are ready to face even them. These blokes  cannot topple government by going on marches. Of course they can ‘topple’ their calves only ” Soysa  asserted.
