(Lanka-e-News- 16.Dec.2014, 7.30PM) Basil Rajapakse has suddenly disappeared , according to Temple trees informed sources, with the surfacing of all signs of sure defeat at impending elections and the stench emanating from within the Rajapakse ranks.
Might we recall we already revealed in our earlier reports , how the duties of Basil who was playing a lead role in the MaRa government’s election activities were cut down, and those propaganda activities were taken over by Mahinda Rajapakse’s sons. Basil who was already cut up with this treatment was further irritated and annoyed when venally inclined Tissa Attanayake a non entity was appointed as the health minister .
Lanka e news at the same time as discussions were being held regarding the appointment of Tissa Attanayake reported , that the latter was insisting on the health portfolio when a different portfolio was offered , and it was only MaRa and his sons who participated in those discussions.
Finally , MaRa and his sons decided to appoint Tissa as the health minister . Basil who was thoroughly disappointed and disgruntled over this appointment , had told his closest friends that , while he is toiling to hold back the SLFP parliamentarians from crossing over by creeping into their homes under cover of darkness and begging from them , MaRa and sons are paving the way for them to defect.
Truly speaking , the true main reason for the beginning of the split into two within the SLFP was the marginalizing and displacing of the senior SLFPers and SLFP representatives elected by the people who worked with commitment for the party , while giving prominence and places to the UNPers who pole vaulted . This resentment and discontent within the government rank and file turned into a sore that was incurably festering .In those circumstances when those who came from outside were getting down ethanol and heroin , it was the SLFP seniors who were targeted for attack by the public. When these outsiders who crept in were opening a hundred wine stores and dozens of distilleries , it is the SLFP seniors on the other hand who were promoting ‘mathata thitha’ ( anti alcoholics) policy who came in for attack of the public.
While this is the abominable situation prevailing within a disintegrating government , amidst Bandaranaikes the original founders of the party , its party secretary and senior leaders who together upheld the reputation of the party discarding the government to join the opposition , just a nitwit like Tissa Attanayake who came in recently being made the health minister had antagonized Basil who is of the belief that despite having glaring knowledge of this deterioration and disintegration of the government , no attempt is being made to find a cure for this festering sore , which is now stinking more than ever before.
With Maithri leaving the government , Lalith Dissanayake who is an SLFP senior and deputy health minister was appointed as the acting health minister . Yet , without making Lalith the health minister , n SLFP er who rightly deserves the portfolio , bringing in a moron like Tissa Attanayake from nowhere to be appointed as health minister , who had only been a worthless central province development minister for just two years and had not any day carried out duties of a responsible ministry at national level ; and who could not have ever won on people’s votes and therefore appointed as an M.P. from the national list , had created a bitter feeling of unbearable disgust and dismay in Basil.
Basil who could only grin and bear in these most deplorable and despicable circumstances before MaRa had finally told the family of Mahinda Rajapkse , ‘if Tissa is being given the post of health minister , do not tell me again to halt those who are deserting the party.’
Currently , Basil has disappeared from the scene .
